Sturdy, easy and quick to assemble, great look, excellent value. Im happy!
Update: a couple months into owning this piece, Im overall still happy with it but have downgraded it to 4 stars. Heres why: Even with the screws tightened, the furniture still feels wobbly. This is easily corrected in design if the manufacturer adds four more screws to each leg and creates more of a flange to the uprights extending along the horizontal pieces. Hopefully they read this and make the update; itd be cheap and would make the piece far more stable.
I have to say, I had some pretty modest expectations for this product. I was using a leather storage bench with a wooden tray on top of it as a coffee table but aint nobody got time for that. When I saw this product I was actually pretty attracted to the look (kind of a modern , very simplistic, good proportions, neat lines) and the price was right. Im in the military and I move around; Im not concerned with something that isnt heirloom quality because I know it might get messed up in the next move. Anyhow, the construction is quite sturdy and I was impressed with the accuracy of the fasteners and holes. Normally if you buy a cheaper piece of flat pack furniture, its not at all guaranteed that the pieces will fit together smoothly. Assembly took around 10 minutes and moved along a lot faster once two legs were attached (provides better clearance for the hex key to spin freely). The storage space underneath is great, and can easily accommodate a set of drawers if desired. Looks like someone out there is using it as a convenient bulldog storage. The only thing I dont like about this that might get incorporated into future models would be an selectable height for the storage grill underneathrobot vacuum owners out there, raise your hands if your furniture selection considerations include whether or not your robomaid will fit underneath it.
