Since I frequently receive packages for other departments I needed a table small enough to fit in a space without be obtrusive and large enough to accommodate some fairly sizable packages. This is a perfect fit and I get many compliments. It was easy for a very handy person to put together and he didnt even end up with any extra parts.
The title to this review was Handsome Yet Functional because I am frequently am attracted to the form over function. In this case I didnt need to choose.
Shipped with a outer box outside the manufacturers box, nice double boxing ! The legs and a few other pieces are in their own box protected by more styrofoam. It felt like I was throwing away more stuff then I had received when I was done setting it up.
All pieces, along with all the hardware were clearly labeled, and theyd even threw in a small bottle of glue, thats a big step ahead of Ikea. Instruction was clear, everything went together very well, except the bottom shelf which I had to struggle a bit because the legs were not perfectly aligned.
Note for assembling : Follow the steps as indicated. Pay attention to the up down left right in the instruction pics, make sure you have the correct orientation of the pieces before joining them. There are places where youll need a stubby screw driver. Took me 2 hours to assembly (with power tools).
Very solid after its put together. Yes it wobbles a little, but a few pennies easily took care of that.
Overall this is a very nice piece of .
Your basic do/it/yourself table, in this case for our foyer so wed have a place to put keys and a small table lamp. This goes together similar to any Ikea/type piece of . The various screws, pins, and similar components are all bubble wrapped individually by part type and properly labeled; the right number of components was provided. The directions are pictorial and in English and are pretty straightforward. While there are several portions that would be easier with two sets of hands, I was able to put this together at somewhat leisurely pace over the course of an hour.
Several dozen wood pins (dowels) require white glue for strength; the glue is provided in a small squeeze tube and there was plenty for the project. Several of the pieces are close in size or length, so be sure to pay attention to that.
Toughest part to assemble was the table top surface as there were 16 different pins and screws to line up in order to provide good rigidity for the table; a non/marking rubber hammer was invaluable here to get it all into place.
The table parts were packed well with no damage to the wood surfaces. The wood is a composite/type board with laminated wood surfaces. The wood appears to be of good quality. Once assembled, none of the unfinished surfaces shows, and the assembly was solid. Each piece was labeled in paint on the edges and easy to distinguish. Once assembled, the table legs were even with no adjustments required. Small plastic feet are included to prevent scratching the floor. The drawer has no side rails and simply slides out until it hits a stop.
Overall a good price for a decent piece of that looks pretty good. Coincidentally, we spotted a near identical table constructed of similar wood at a local store while looking for something else; it was 3 times the cost of this product and we saw no real difference between the two.

Nice Table but difficult to put together
Gave it as a gift for my sister, she loved it. Her husband complained it took much time to put it together.
Waste of money
2 holes did not match the piece i was suppose to put it in. So now the whole thing was a waste of money!
