Perfect little side tables for our guest room. Have to admit, they are shorter than I expected despite reading the reviews beforehand knowing they’d be short but it definitely works for the size of the bed next to it. Easy to put together and sturdy.
Super cute! Lightweight, attractive design, endless uses. — The first thing I did was lay out all the different sections into the two separate tables to bigger top and bottom of the table, the sides and two legs for each, and then discovered their leg pads in the envelope so the first actual construction I did was to apply the Leg pads… BUT: Noticed only after applying for to one of the sets of legs that there were only six pads and the envelope. Had I known that to begin with? I think I would have cut them in half so there were enough to go around.
Assembling the table: The two larger segments that belong for the top of the table, and then the bottom of the table that creates the shelf in between, the holes drilled, have a distinct difference that lets you know which side to screw the screws into. There’s a divot that is to hold the screw head on one side and the hole is not that way on the other side. There are similar distinctions on every piece of wood to show which side you want to have facing out invisible are you as you use the finish table and which side you want facing in or which side the screw should be entered into. Just check that out closely. Be sure the four small holes in the end pieces are facing out to attach the legs there. - Down side: after several weeks of use, I can see that the tabletop blemishes easily from drinking glasses on the surface just about anything that you would normally put on a table can easily make a scratch mark in it. The scratch mark comes out, kind of like a gray line and from putting glasses of water or coffee or wine or whatever on the table top it makes these whitish rings as you can see in the last photo. - be sure to to screw the top screws in tightly enough so that the table doesn’t wobble.
I spent a lot of time searching for low bedside tables for my young granddaughters who share a room, and these fit the bill perfectly. I love the attractive, smooth and natural finish (though had considered painting them white to match their beds, but actually prefer them as is) and that they were so simple to assemble with all screw holes matching, no wobbles, extremely sturdy and functional for their size, and best of all got them at a great price during a lightning deal. I was very impressed that they stacked together perfectly, making them even more functional. The only thing keeping me from giving them 5 stars is the fact that matching screw hole plugs are not included--having the screw tops visible detracts so much from the otherwise sleek, almost mid century look of these tables.
Great value and quality! Easy to assemble. I definitely recommend ordering 2 sets of 2, because I stacked, they’re pretty short. We have a king and it’s quite a stretch to get down to the level.
I was looking for some cheap side tables that if I wanted to paint later I could and not feel guilty. I went in knowing these tables are short. Because of this, I purchased 2, which is great because the individual tables will only work for a bed where the mattress is directly on the floor.
Pros:
-Cheap. Of course, bamboo is a grass so maybe $60 isn't *really* a good deal, but considering less attractive and flimsy MDF tables are around the same price I call it a pro.
-Neutral color. Makes it easy to paint later on (Just make sure to prime first!)
-Comes with extra screws
Ehs:
- I don't like that the raw silver screws are visible. This is of course an aesthetic thing, and I could cover the holes in putty if I really wanted to.
-Smell. It smells like bamboo. I don't mind the smell of bamboo, but my partner isn't fond of it. It fades eventually (or I got used to it).
Cons:
-Easy to assemble in concept, bad if you don't measure everything. I am serious about measuring. The legs are slightly angled more on one side, which means the pre-drilled holes on the shelf portion needs to be lined up properly too. You also need to measure the length of the legs and make SURE all the holes are centered. Start with the wider portion first then finish fixing the legs. Otherwise, you'll end up with either a wobbly table or stripped screws. In fact, I actually had to make a stabilizer with some hot glue for one of the legs because I had no desire to take it apart again.
Overall, I am not sure if I would buy it again, but at least I know I can modify it at any time.
easy to build and adorable also so cute and easy to decorate!
Small but so very beautiful
