I bought these tables for my fiance to help accent her living room and they really look nice. At first I was a bit concerned after reading some of the other reviews and even at one point had decided not to buy them, but she seemed to really want them so I eventually came around. Unfortunately, the tables were not without their issues, but overall, we are satisfied with the product.
Appearance
The finish is actually quite nice. The tables were certainly larger than we expected, but still work nicely as end table. Some of the coloring on the legs is a tad rough in spots, but its nothing any of your guests would ever see. No complaints on appearance.
Assembly
Craftsmanship left a lot to be desired. I struggled to line up some of the legs so that I could screw them into the top of the table. One of the legs actually wouldnt fit at all and I had to alter it so that I could attach it. The dowel that must be inserted in order to stop the drawer from falling out is a pain as well. After struggling to get it in (hopefully you dont have large hands) I realized that it would not hold on its own and I had to get an adhesive and start all over! These are the two biggest problems I had with the tables. The dowel isnt all that bad, but poor drilling of the holes can be the difference between a table and a worthless stack of wood. If youre not used to putting things together and/or altering them, dont bother with these.
Quality
The tables actually feel quite sturdy. They offer a large amount of surface area and feel like they could hold most things that would reasonably be placed on top of them with ease. The legs provide a solid base and, while mine were placed on carpet, I experienced no wobble or anything of the sort. This was somewhat surprising after the discouraging experience I had with assembly.
Overall
Nice tables for a great price if you have patience and are comfortable solving problems with assembly when the manufacturer does a less than stellar job. If not, I would avoid these tables completely.
Nice tables. Not without problems.
