I'm writing this two years after purchase. We bought the table to turn into a Lego table for our kids. The table has held up flawlessly! The fabric bins that came with the table were flimsy and basically useless for what we needed them for. The sides are not very stiff, so they didn't stand up to my son taking the bins out over and over. We ended up using the bins to hold papers, and got plastic bins for the Legos. But that's fine, the table is the real star of the show!We glued two 12x12" lego base plates to the table, and it has worked out exactly as we hoped!Well, it's a 30+ dollar table. I think I really did get my moneys worth on this, however it looks like a 30+ dollar table.For the negatives: The shipping box was in tact and not damaged at all yet the screws were loose because the manufactures packing wasn't good. There was one edge where the laminate had come loose but I glued that back and it looks fine. The dowels are plastic, and some go in too far, and some don't go in the bar enough or go in slightly crooked. So I think the manufacturer needs to read visit their design and just make things fit better.Now for the positives: it really is a cute little table, and it's quite functional. The little storage drawers hold quite a bit and I'm pleased with that. I love the lower shelf where I can put my galaxy note and even my iPad out of sight and in a position where they don't get damaged by spilled coffee etc. Upon using other's advice, I used wood glue on the dowels and it seems quite sturdy. The size is great because it sits in front of a small love seat. I am thinking about using steel wool on the laminate covering, painting it, and perhaps put on some shabby chic roses on it.okay. i read every review on this table before i decided to buy it (i also bought the matching entertainment stand). a lot of the reviews were bad, saying that they came banged up from the packaging. that part is true. the packaging sucked. the coffee table was more banged up than the entertainment stand, however it wasn't really that bad. nothing noticeable. just a couple little dings in the corners. but you can't tell unless you really look. a couple reviews also said that some of the screws and things were missing. that happened with my coffee table. the bag that they were supposed to be in had ripped and some of the screws fell out. and since the packaging was ripped in some places some fell out. but i had extra screws so that wasn't really anything to worry about. the bag stayed in tact for the entertainment stand. as for putting it together. it was pretty easy for both. i used gorilla glue instead of the glue that they give you. i just wanted to make sure it would stay sturdy for a long time. i put the glue on every edge that went together. both coffee table and entertainment stand are extremely sturdy. they don't move at all. however, i feel that the gorilla glue helped with that a lot. i would definitely reccommend these products to anyone. i love them. they look very nice. and they were cheap!I bought this because of the size and thought it would be great for my 4 year old. However, if your child likes to drag around furniture (it's super light), don't get it. The top pops off now and the screws broke. I don't see how well it would hold up if you were to put heavy objects on it. I will be reinforcing it and adding epoxy to the top because the lament on it scrapes and doesn't last.I bought this table to use for a lego table.I planned on gluing base plates to the top.*Couple of hints if you plan to do this*Number one you will have to cut some of the base plates if you use the 10” X 10”6 plates will fit and three will have to be trimmedThis is not difficult just use razor knife and then buff edges with sand paperI use three green and three blue base plates to simulate earth and skyOk so BE AWARE when gluing these to the top of table!The laminate used on top will peel if it gets wet and bubble up and peel offI first used wood glue and it was a mess the plates just peeled right offSo I cleaned everything off and tried Gorilla Glue.Problem with the Gorilla glue is that it foams and expanded when it dries.I would suggest using some sort of double sided tape for best resultsUnfortunately it was confusing that the top middle and bottom shelf were all labeled the same letter. Even though they have different connections. Would have been much better to label them separately. I had to unscrew a whole section which made it longer to put together than it should have. Gorgeous color. Nice and compact to not take up too much space. Like the big drawers. Very sturdy.Really cute table suitable for a very small space. The built in storage is a bonus. We got the blue one and it’s cheery and bright. It seems sturdy enough for its purpose (craft table for kiddo) and the pieces fit together fine.Pros:~It's cheap; bought it for my 7 yr old's room to store toys and be a play table. Nice fabric bins which will surly last longer than the table.Cons:~Very low budget materials - I wouldn't even call this particle board, it's like recycled particle board or sawdust w/ glue (funny now that I look it does describe it with recycled materials...)~The laminate is peeling already out of the box.~Sections are close but not perfect fit for assemblyOther:I used glue to assemble and fix loose laminate to attempt to sturdy this table up, which seemed to help. I also glued a non-slip pad to the top to make a nice play top which came out nice (Shop Fox W1322 Anti-Vibration Pad 24-Inch by 36-Inch, Black). So all in all it'll do what I needed it to do but I don't think I will be buying the set, which to me has a great design but is really bad material; A glass with condensation on it would destroy it first time. I would've rated a 2 star but realizing you get what you pay for this isn't too bad.I was a bit nervous of buying this, after reading the reviews, but I am really glad I did. It is really lovely.I bought it as a feeding station for my cats in the kitchen. It stops my small dog from getting at the food and also allows me to store food, toys, leads, doggy poop bags, treats etc in the drawers. It looks so tidy now in the kitchen!! I found it easy to assemble apart from the instructions being slightly wrong. It was easy to work it out though. It is lovely quality and sturdy. Exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommended.Building it next week so if I can write a real review then...... then I shallSturdy little coffee tableIt's a good little tablePoor quality for the price. Also a large chip on the top corner of the table. All in all not very happy with this product.
