Signature Design by Ashley - Nestor Traditional Semi-Circle Sofa Table w/ Two Shelves, Medium Brown

Read reviews that mention:

First the good. I purchased two of the 3 tiered side tables. Managed to grab them for a little over $80 each (if you can wait the prices do fluctuate).
I picked the tables based on the scroll design I wanted to match other curved furniture in my living room. I also wanted a taller side table. The average is around 24", these are 26". My sofa has taller arms so the table height was important as not to be awkward when using. These work out great. They look pretty elegant and the colours are nice and the finish is clean. They are fairly heavy and do have adjustable feet.

Now the bad.
As like other reviewers mine came damaged. Each were delivered on different days and boxed differently and both had damage. I am assuming they are actually Ashley rejects. The first table had a damaged box but not enough to cause concern. The styrofoam was broken inside which caused a mess. Only one table platform was wrapped in packing, the other had nothing around them. The top piece had a rather large gouge in the side approx 3" long. After looking at what was left of the packing material we decided it wasn't going to be notable enough to try and repackage it. We placed that one in the unused corner.
Second table was packaged in a secondary box to the Ashley box. Everything was wrapped and factory fresh looking. The top platform had scratches on the finish on the edge which lined up with the leg placement so they are hidden (although maybe a return and repackaged after someone assembled?). The lower platform as an odd ring on it like maybe a metal transfer. I tried wiping it and then tried scratching it off. It seems to be deep enough it is there permanently. I also was unable to screw all 3 screws into the middle platform as the last hole does not line up. It may if you bend the leg but I wasn't will to try. It had little outriggers to screw the middle to which act as a support too so I left that screw out.

Assembly was about what you would expect. Although we found attaching the bottom first then the top tightening the screws in slow alternate fashion. I think attaching one leg and tightening everything would cause major alignment issues. This way gave us a little more wiggle room for pushing and pulling until things lined up properly. The adjustable feet on both sets had 1 foot that is not level. I shortened them all and placed those at the back adjusting only the level feet.

I am guessing these are all Ashley rejects of some sort. The 2 stars are based on the looks and the height requirement. If I had purchased these locally I would have taken them back in a heart beat. The ball ache of sending them back outweighed the damage. I am thankful we grabbed these at the lower price otherwise I would have sucked it up and repackaged them. I am awaiting the sofa table delivery and at this point am not holding my breath. I will be unpackaging very carefully and inspecting every little piece. Currently 0/2 on quality.
I think waiting for an Ashley sale and having directly shipped from them would be a better option. Whilst I can live with the damaged tables I will not be recommending to others.
I have included as many pictures as I could.
Nice pictures as they are good looking tables and then the damage and issues.

***Edit update***
Sofa table arrived. Everything look good initially. Second platform had a big gouge and looked like it was filled with white putty (last two pictures). Damage was right on the front so no hiding this one. I'm annoyed. Thankfully I did unbox carefully and it is now sitting repackaged and waiting for UPS. Glad I used Prime. They are picking up and sending a replacement for free. Yet again, not holding my breath. If the next one is bad I will be requesting a refund and will box the two side tables up for a refund too.
Changing review to 1 star until replacement gets here.

Replacement of sofa table arrived today. Not surprised to say it is damaged. The box was beaten up but did not correspond with the damage on not one, but two of the platforms (see last 3 pictures). I am beyond miffed at the shoddy junk that this seller is passing off as "Ashley quality from the factory". I am sending back the replacement and boxing up the two end tables too. We work hard for our money and I am done. I will not be taken for a chump.

Don't waste your money on this seller. They are batting 0/4 on my order. I mean seriously, what are the odds unless all you sell are rejects.


I love this sofa table. It's very steardy and easy to put together. It came with a yellow envelope that had the instructions in it and a red bag with the hardware in it, so you can't miss them! There was absolutely no damage to the wood or metal legs whatsoever. The packaging had lots of foam and bubble wrap for safe handIing. I have this in my entry way and i love how traditional it looks. Also it's much cheaper then buying from the Ashely home store.
Was watching this table for a price drop after spending too much money on the smaller 2-shelf matching ones elsewhere. Amazon had this one marked down somewhat from the usual price, and it shipped and arrived quickly with the box in perfect shape, but the contents could be heard sliding around inside of it. I do like the table because of its size and appearance, and then it does match my other ones too. Opening the box however resulted in disgust rather than delight, as I discovered that the"wooden" surfaces, the table top and shelf, both were rather badly damaged, and now this table would be a project for me to deal with aside from its simple assembly. Returning it would not be any easier than shipping it to me without damage apparently was. Let's see now... keeping it would require hiding the disfigured finish with wood stain although sanding likely would not work on this fake wood. What a lovely Christmas gift from Amazon!!! I may have paid a little more elsewhere, but at least their products arrived without immediate problems and an annoying clumsy return.
UPDATE - assembly issues aside, it’s still a beautiful table. When assembling, IGNORE the instructions - they say to build from the bottom up. It’s easiest if you attach legs to top, attach bottom shelf, then add the middle piece. Keep in mind, it’s EXTREMELY important you don’t tighten any bolts more than a few hand turns while putting it together or else you’ll be undoing them all. The first one took 30 min to assemble (by myself) b/c I tried to follow the instructions. Once figured out the easier way, the 2nd one only took 10 minutes. LOVE this table!

ORIG REVIEW: I have had this table for 3 years and it's a great looking table. It's quite sturdy and easily assembled. With reviews, you have to take the good with the bad - some have pretty crappy shipping experiences, but most do not. As for the table, it is a great looking table and has held up wonderfully for the past 3 years. I use it as a bedside table and it's very lovely there. Actually, it's getting moved to the living room as an end table. I would recommend it to anyone, BUT as I stated earlier - shipping experiences vary.
Purchased this item as a warehouse deal which description notes the condition as very good with no cosmetic damages. I am physically disabled and have previously been able to trust the descriptions to be accurate and detailed regarding warehouse deal purchases. I expected the same experience with this order and since I was incapable of unpackaging it myself I did not inspect it for accuracy. I made arrangements for a local handyman service for assembly. I watched the assembly process and the assembly time appeared to be simple and fast however I later noticed visible scarring/defects on the top piece of the table. I really like the table however since I have already paid $75 to have it assembled, I would lose money if I returned the table. I wish there was a product I could use to help hide the problem.
Easy to assemble but also looks beautiful in our living room
I love the tables and they look really expensive.
love it
