SIMPLIHOME Warm Shaker SOLID WOOD 20 inch Wide Rectangle Transitional End Side Table in Tobacco Brown for the Living Room and Bedroom

I purchased 2 end tables and really liked the design. I wish they had been a tad larger. Packing was excellent! Color shown was way different than what I received. It ended up being a grayish brown color. There were areas with no color at all and some of the wood was a a bit damaged, not due to shipping. Putting it together was easy enough, but the screws would have been much easier to get in if they were a Phillip's head. A little difficulty getting the top piece on and while coaxing it down got a nasty pinch/cut on my thumb. All in all, I will keep them for a while until I can find end tables that are a better fit in my living room..

Just got 2 of these in Farmhouse Grey. Opened boxes and laid out all parts, very well packaged and all parts were there with some extra screws, dowels, cam locks and an extra Allen wrench. You only need the Allen wrench, a flathead and Phillips head screw driver to assemble. Directions and pictures were pretty clear and all parts were letter coded with a sticker. Assembly was super easy and only took 30 mins or so for both. Color is a little darker than add photo but fine for me. They are pretty small compared to the ones I’m replacing, but I knew that when I ordered. Im pretty happy with them for the price and would buy again.

I have purchased countless pieces of furniture over many years in which you have to assemble and they all have some quirk such as bad instructions, holes don't line up, scratches here and there; but this has got to be the closest item to assembled furniture I have ever encountered. And yes, like other reviewers I encountered similar problems and the drawer took some tweaking, but overall the value is excellent. Had a small scratch under the top, but not exposed with it put together, instructions were good but not the absolute best, one piece did not have an "identification letter" but you could determine what it was by the pictures in the instructions. Bottom line, the finish is as good as any assembled furniture, the packaging with "an extra" bag of small parts (not needed) was a plus, the overall craftsmanship was very good, and the way in which it was packed was some of the best I've ever seen. And seriously, it took longer to unwrap all the pieces and get it ready to assemble than the assembly itself which took just me alone about 20 minutes and I was placing a table lamp on it. Perhaps when you are assembling all genuine wood pieces it's much easier and faster than dealing with particle board or any other manufactured "wood" stuff! Black furniture is so easy to repair scratches with a black felt pen too!

This table was a major disappointment. When the box was opened and pieces organized, we realized just how small this table is. It looks very nice, but it would be a better fit for a home of elves. It is a full three inches shorter than the table it is replacing. The description indicates this is "solid wood" and it definitely is NOT. This is pressboard, furniture board, or whatever you prefer to call it. While it is sturdy, I don't expect it to last for long. I would return it, but it would be too much trouble to disassemble and box up. Buyer beware....... One week later, small scratches and dings on the table from things such as a comb and a coaster. These tables are purely decorative. Not intended for use.

I purchased this to replace an end table in my living room. The assembly was relatively straightforward, but plagued by one ridiculous oversight. They used hexagonal screws to join the various pieces together. This makes it difficult to get torque to start the screws, and in many cases you can't use the Allen wrench efficiently because you have to make several small turns.The rest of the end table is assembled with Phillips screws, so why would you choose hexagonal screws for part of it? Makes no sense.

If I could I would give it 3 and a half stars. The table looks nice. There are a few drip/run marks in the finish on some of the parts, but nothing too major. The wood is solid and sturdy.The instructions are in English, which makes assembly much easier for English speakers than going on diagrams alone. For the most part it was easy to assemble. It took me about 30 minutes from unboxing to get it to the final stage of attaching the top, even having two four-legged 'assistants' inspecting and supervising the whole process.The major down fall as in the attachment of the top. I put in the cam lock screws and set the top down to do the final attachment, and the cam lock position was too far down on the piece to which the top attaches. It took several attempts to back the cam lock screws out of the top piece enough so that they would still be reasonably well attached to the top while getting far enough down that the cam lock would hold them. Fortunately, I am very patient. I was only able to get three of the four to attach solidly. I will probably get some glue to secure the fourth corner. Over all it is a nice table, but the final assembly had a pretty big hitch.

I bought two of these to go on either side of my couch. Both of them had slight manufacturing defects which caused some hassles to assembly. Both were on the drawer part. On one, the starter hole to put the Allen wrench screw through into the back side of the drawer was at a bit of an angle, and on the other one of the holes to screw the cam into the front side of the drawer was just a bit off center. Both were recoverable. Although the instructions don't recommend it, I found that using a power drill to slightly widen and start the holes for the Allen wrench screws significantly shortened the assembly time.Overall these are a good value and seem very sturdy. Also the drawers both sit square and open/close smoothly.

Although a little tricky to assemble, the table is more than I expected. It is solid and stylish. Good buy!

We ordered two of the end tables. The first one was so easy to put together. The second one needed to be adjusted because the bottom shelf would not fit. My husband had to sand and inner corner in order to make it fit. Luckily my husband is handy and we were able to assemble it after he fixed it.

Not good as I expected. There are some scratchs on the surface. The only good thing is it ships fast. I would not recommend to buy it.
