I took a chance on getting this table from and it paid off. In person, the table looks even better than the pictures.
Pros:
- Nice looks, top does appear to be made of real solid wood.
- Perfect size (I mean, the dimensions in the product page are accurate, but this just fits the place its in perfectly.)
- Overall construction seems fairly sturdy. Metal thread sinks are put into the wooden parts to make the bolts for final assembly go in easily and hold it together firmly.
- The packaging was done very intelligently for shipping. They didnt use excessive amounts of foam, but also didnt skimp, with each piece packed separately to avoid pieces damaging each other during shipping. That appears to have paid off as mine arrived undamaged.
- Great quality for the price
Cons:
- Like one other reviewer, I found a small irregularity in the white particle board wood assembly on the back side. It was like the particle wood was mashed or cracked slightly. This had been painted over so I know it must have happened prior to shipping. It isnt too bad and doesnt seem to impact the structural integrity of the table. It is cosmetic, but being at the back of the table no one will see it so Im not concerned.
- The white parts are a particle wood composite. It is a fairly dense composite and seems pretty sturdy, but just to clarify that only the top is solid wood, the rest is wood composite.
