This review is from: Winsome Wood Genoa End Table, Espresso (Kitchen) For $59, you get a few pieces of shaped wood, a piece of glass, screws that have to be driven with allen wrenches (when will manufacturers give up on those blasted things?), and a finish that looks pretty but mars easily and could have been applied better. And the cam locks, as others have noted, are the cheapest, cheesiest metal I've ever seen. Even forewarned, my wife managed to snap one, and we ended up coming up with a workaround involving stiff wire and hot glue. For your effort you get a cute little table, and if you don't go over it carefully, looking for the various fit and finish problems, it looks okay, though not quite as dark as the photo shows. As long as you understand that this is not fine furniture, and keep your expectations reasonably low, you get a small but serviceable little table made of a light, but solid, wood. The grain shows though the finish - the surface is not mirror smooth - but the overall effect is pleasing.

The only problem with the table is that the glass was scratched. I liked the table so much that I decided not to send it back for the scratched glass. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Winsome Wood Genoa End Table, Espresso (Kitchen) I really love this table - it is right next to my front door in my apartment and I keep a dish with my car keys on it. However, I bought it within the past 6 months and 3 days ago noticed a small crack across the wood on one side of the top. I only keep the dish with my car keys on this. No heavy objects. Yesterday when I looked, there was a very large crack across another part of the wood on the top of the table and the small crack had grown a bit bigger as well. This is now a complete waste of my money as the return window closed a few months ago. Nice table, but a lifespan of 6 months is pretty worthless. |
