Great table easy to put together- it look me about hr alone- but I was watching tv while putting together sturdy table- I have 2 large dogs and they havent killed the table yet!!! Drawers have plenty of space for little things! Table top enough for my mail holder and keys or a purse!
I really like this table. I have a lot of pla to on it at the moment, though a bunch of them wont live there permanently.
I piece came broken, but we had it mostly put together by the time we realized it and taking it apart to return seemed like a huge hassle. Plus, unless youre on your hands and knees inspecting my table, I dont think youd notice.
Overall, the table is sturdy and pretty. If it wasnt for the one broken piece that came in an undamaged box (so I have to assume it was packaged up like that), I would have rated it 5 stars.
This table looks amazing. The instructions that are provided are somewhat confusing, but if you get the hang of what screws go where, youll be fine. It did take about one hour to put together.
Step 1 consists of attaching two braces to the bottom-side of the bottom shelf. (See edit at bottom) The problem is that the screw threads only barely sink into the shelf, they barely go one threads worth in. So if you apply too much torque, you will immediately strip out the wood. To fix my screw-up, I filled in the holes with wood glue, let them dry, then carefully re-drilled pilot holes and tightened them *by hand* until only barely snug.
The rest of the assembly was pretty smooth and painless, but just know that you CANNOT use your power drill with a philips bit when you tackle step 1 or you will immediately strip the pilot holes.
Edit: Unlike many others here whose step 1 involves the Drawer Slides - I must have received different instructions. MY Step 1 consisted of taking the bottom shelf, and then attaching two braces to the bottom of it. In my copy, the steps involving the R/L drawer slides did not appear until step 3 or 4 (I forget which).
The individual pieces of this unit came packaged with great care to not break or scratch during transit. Its really too bad the construction of this unit is so poorly thought out and the instructions extremely difficult to figure out. I have put together many pieces of furniture of all kinds and this is the worst. parts of the wood split during construction and will have to resort to glue to keep the bottom shelf on the support. Its too much trouble to take apart and return at this point and my use for it will be minimal. So Ill keep it for now, but not forever. I would pass on this and look at something else. And it takes 2 people to put this seemingly simple console together.
This is very pretty once put together and seems very sturdy. However the getting it together part is harder than I thought. The directions are pictures that are hard to decipher. Tiny lines with numbers and letters. I had a few pieces upside down and had to go back and flip them. overall its a nice piece but it comes in about 13 pieces with a bunch of nuts and bolts.
product came with the holes already stripped out. worked around that and when it finally came time to put the product together, we were sent 2 ( 2) pieces and couldnt even assemble the product. waste of money. terrible quality.
I was nervous about putting this together because the reviews made it seem difficult but it was super easy.
The table is gorgeous. I love it. And for an awesome price!
Came UPS and what us becoming more common is their poor handling of boxes. The box came in pretty damaged but the packaging of the unit was its savior. I was seriously impressed putting this together. Everything is clearly labeled and the directions were great. The quality is tip notch. I am very pleased with this purchase. I did the cobalt blue and it is a beautiful rich color.

Part Came Broken, but Turned Out Ok

Looks amazing

Be careful on step 1! DONT use a power screwdriver!

Terrible instructions and fit

Great price
