This thing is really hard to build, and that is coming from someone whos entire apartment is Ikea. The hardware did not seem to be the right size for the corresponding parts, etc. If you get new hardware then you will have no problem. It is a really nice looking table. It was just unfortunate that I had to basically leave it to balance there.
Im digging it. There was a chip or two on one of the pieces, but nothing to weep about. Putting it together was easy and its relatively sturdy. It does what I need it to do and fits the corner of my living room perfectly.
I ordered two tables prior to the reviews where the cam bolt system do not lock correctly, mine did not lock at all and very frustrating as its the key to the stability of the night stand. I contacted Altra and they are sending me new cam locks so hopefully that will resolve the issue, but I am slightly doubtful. The drawers went together pretty easily. The quality is about what I expected for the price I paid so I am fine with the minor wood imperfections - mostly in the back or where parts go together.
My advice to the company is to figure out an alternative to the cam locks!
I love this side table putting it together was easy. It feels heavy of good quality. The reason for my low rating is due to the fact that the paint smell emitted from this piece was SO bad that by the time I finished putting it together I had to vomit from the noxious fumes. And its been sitting in an empty room airing out for 6 days and it still smells horrible. I dont know how to get rid of this smell!!
Beautiful and classy table, color exactly as pictured! But due to minor flaw in packinging two tables came with chipped color at exactly same spot (on front of the table, at around the drawers area). I decided to keep them and bought touch up paint to fix it, because otherwise I love them. However, I really hope that the word will get across to the manufacturer as the damage could have been very easily prevented.
These end tables have held up during the past 4 months of normal use, its very easy to run a small extension cord through the bottom to leave in the top drawer to use as a phone charging station.
Gray bedroom in 3 different shades and man these 2 end tables for our bedroom rock!!! No chips, no missing paint, color beautiful lots of room for extras, use one drawer for socks, other for remote, magazine, and more. Unerring shelf for slippers and heating pad. If you want gray end tables these are the ones. So happy so nice the perfect size. Lamp cell and picture frame on top. Best table in gray I ever found.
There were a few minor scraps on the piece when I received it, but it does make the table look more rustic I guess. Minus that, the dresser is adorable. The color is perfect, and the piece looks expensive. I would definitely recommend it to others.
Paint was chipped in some areas, and it wobbles. It looks really nice at first, but these unfinished and shotty details were a real disappointment. It was too much trouble to return it after we already assembled it.

Just a few problems to build the drawers but all is good
Nice table, but terrible hardware!

Look nice, but cam locks a pain
