When assembled, the sides don't line up with the top/bottom by a couple millimeters. But from just a small distance, the imperfections aren't obvious.
The feet that come with the table are NOT attractive metal columns. They're hideous gray plastic squares. They're also only 1.5" high. Who would want to ruin the attractive dark look of these tables with tiny, cheap-looking, gray plastic squares? I didn't even attach the included feet as I planned from the beginning to order taller legs. Search on Amazon for "Como Furniture Legs" and you'll find a good selection of heights in a finish that matches the legs shown in the product picture. I chose these: 552-20-C1 Camar 8" Como Leg Plate Mount - Chrome The assembly experience is similar to IKEA products...Read more 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: By Frodo Baggins "Dex Spinner" (Orange, CA, US) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Contemporary Espresso Finish End / Side Table We just received this table today. It arrived quickly and I was happy to open the box and begin the "Simple Assembly." My very capable and handy husband and I were beyond disappointed at the poor quality of the particle board with the laminate wood stained skin that required COMPLETE assembly. The feet are NOT round. They are short, stumpy, grey plastic retangles and they look horrible.

The screws and the unfinished particle board are clearly visible from underneath and side angles. It was not a simple assembly. I feel like I was ripped off and I wasted my money. I would discourage anyone from purchasing this product unless you like really cheap looking furniture that...Read more 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Contemporary Espresso Finish End / Side Table Product arrived as promised, not a fast shipper but company kept in reasonable touch and delivered when it said it would. More assembly needed than I had anticipated, but all parts were enclosed. The legs are not metal but silver-colored plastic, and rectangular. The finish on two sides had blemishes, but they were fairly easy to repair if you have dark wood wax pencils, dark-finished oil or the like. All in all, it is fine for my needs in an office setting but I would not like the quality if it were in my home. Would have been a great value except for shipping costs. |
