Sturdy nice-looking table. Ordered two, only one had hardware, one was damaged...


By Mikel

This is a sturdy, well-constructed, nice-looking table. The fit of the legs is great, and the legs are easily attached and removed by bolting to threaded metal nut inserts, so there should be no risk of stripping wood pilot holes with repeatedly attaching and removing the legs for easy movement to new location (great for our purposes, probably not necessary for most users). And each leg is attached with two bolts with excellent fit and very stable joint design. The table is well-sanded and will look great stained or painted. The top is not solid wood but "butcher block" construction of glued-up 1-3/4 wide by 8-inch to 20-inch long pieces (similar to hardwood flooring construction) but looks very good.

HOWEVER, and this is probably the biggest problem with any shipped furniture, only one of the two tables arrived with the necessary hardware to install the legs - one table has NO INCLUDED HARDWARE. And the other had one of eight washers of the wrong size. Because of time constraints I will have to try to get suitable hardware myself locally instead of trying to figure out how to get hardware from Amazon, but this is maddening. I bought these to avoid having to build them myself and save some time, but here we go yet again with the hardware missing from the package and no easy way that I can figure to get replacement hardware from Amazon...

And one table has crush damage (1/2 x 1-inch area) to one top table corner which will require return; wasting time and fuel

So the table itself gets a 5-star review, but the packing and shipping and overall experience gets ONE STAR - shipped fast, arrived with some damage to the top corner of one table, missing hardware rendering other table UNUSABLE until I can get suitable hardware (probably metric bolt/thread size) locally.

Great table, but from my experience you have a 50/50 chance of receiving a usable product out of the box. Maybe that's asking a lot, but...

Very good table, an excellent value


By Mink Creek

My brief review of this table is that it is an excellent price, well designed and nicely shaped. The wood is well prepared for finishing. It was well packaged, arrived in a timely fashion and was easy to assemble. I have provided below a detailed review of my experience with the table.

SIZE and USE
The height (18")is perfect for using the table with a couch for casual dinners when you are holding your plate. It is 42" wide. I would have preferred a couple of more inches in width but it it is fine with a regular sized couch. It is quite deep in comparison to a typical coffee table, it is 24" front to back and many are about 18". The depth and height are two aspects that make it such a nice table for dinner and a movie when perched on the couch.

ASSEMBLY
Putting the table together took just a few minutes. The bolts were packaged well and the instructions were clear. For assembly, you place a bolt with washer though the fitting on the leg and into the hole on the underside of the table and attach it using the included Allen wrench. There are two sturdy bolts for each leg. The table is very stable This is easily done by one person.

APPEARANCE
As one reviewer pointed it, the top is not a solid piece. That reviewer mentioned it was like butcher block. I agree. Imagine standard wood flooring cut table size. It appears that way to me.

The parts are well proportioned and the edges pleasantly shaped. The 90 degree angles such as on the legs are even and distinct. The edge of the table top is well shaped and has a slightly rounded aspect that makes the table seem "comfortably used" rather than just manufactured. The sharp edge has also been taken off the corners. You would not notice this slight rounding unless you were exploring the table with your hands to complete the finish. They are very nice details.

FINISHING
I took care as I finished the table and I was surprise that I was able to achieve a fine furniture finish on the wood. I intended to use this table as a "test case" to learn how to use the finish for some nicer furniture I wanted to finish. I used General Finishes oil-based gel which is a hand-rubbed finish Georgian Cherry Gel Stain, Quart accompanied by the GF Gel Topcoat Satin with a hand rubbed finish.

The table took stain well. There were some areas that had significantly different absorption rates due to the joining of the different boards. There were a couple of areas that did not take stain well at all. These were on the side so it is not obvious but it almost appeared that there was something on the wood. I used a very fine sand paper to reduced the color on the darker areas and increase the absorption in the two small ares that did not take the stain. The legs stained beautifully.

Using the hand-rubbed finish did take some waiting between coats. I am glad I took the time even thought it was a several day process. I ended up with nice coffee table rather than the functional one I expected.

Awesome product


By A. Smith

I received this product unassembled, which allowed me to easily stain and polyurethane it before putting it together (which consisted of screwing in the legs to the base, so no big deal). The product absorbed the stain beautifully and is of nice quality wood.
