Magnussen Gaston Wood Bunching Cocktail Table

I have been checking this coffee table out for what seems like ages and when it went on sale on Amazon, I couldn't wait any longer. As stated by some of the other reviewers, this is a really nice piece of furniture that looks to be much more expensive than it really is. The leather (?) covering the seats are soft and don't seem like the faux leather as with other pieces. Assembly was relatively painless and shipping was great as it arrived within a week of ordering. I actually went to JcPenny's furniture store to see this up front before ordering it from amazon and am loving this purchase!

First off I had to send back the table once as it arrived with a defective table leg that made it impossible to assemble. Amazon made the return and reorder very easy and I did not pay any shipping on either order or the return.

My table has been up for a week now and I like the look - the pictures are accurate. My table is still a little wobbly and I hope to be able to tighten the screws some more. I disagree with some other reviews on the ease of assembly, I feel this was very difficult to assemble. The table and the stools both involve screws with no pre-drilled holes. The table itself was just large enough that for me (at 5'2") it would have helped a lot to have another person to hold things together.

I have assembled a lot of other furniture and this was one of the hardest. (2 desks, many bookcases, several chests of drawers, 3 side tables and one dining room table)

I love almost everything about this table. It's the perfect size for our small den and it looks great, very classy, especially for the price. The 2 storage trays underneath are handy when you want to clear the table quickly. The only thing I'm disappointed in is the stools - they're not very well balanced and it feels like you're about to tip over sometimes when you sit down or move. They make nice footstools, though. All in all I feel this was a good buy. Assembly was pretty easy but use a power tool for the stools.
