I have a side table by NJ that I absolutely adore and I SO wish I loved this piece as much because it really is super cute (and cute furniture is hard to come by). Unfortunately, cant really say Id recommend it, at least at this price - and definitely wouldnt recommend at all if you have kiddos that it could topple over onto!
PROS:
-arrived super quick in perfect condition and was very carefully packed
-included all the pieces plus some extras, all very well labeled
-directions are kind of a pain but not any more difficult than any other DIY furniture
-there are three different positions for the adjustable/removable interior shelf
-it really is a good-looking piece of furniture... as long as you dont really touch it
CONS:
-so top heavy! There IS a piece at the top that allows you to anchor it to the wall but Im hesitant to do that because this thing needs SO much support when you open the (magnetic) doors that Im afraid it will eventually rip a hole in the wall.... probably in like 3 door openings
-the attachments for the bottom and top pieces are awful and the whole thing feels pretty rickety
-therefore I would absolutely not put anything heavy or valuable on here!
-just expected a bit more sturdiness given the price and the quality of some other NJ pieces
I pretty much never write reviews but I went back and forth over buying this for a bit - and while I wont say I completely regret it, its definitely not the most functional piece of furniture. But it does match my couch nicely. So.. do with this info what you will.
solid..ly mediocre
