This product arrived fast, right to my door. Now I am a handy man by trade but was not going to waste good time building one of these, staining it etc. so this seemed perfect for my bathroom. I will let you know before I start, after 30 minutes of frustration, I nearly called to return this item. Like I said, I build, repair and design things so it takes a lot for me to give up. I finally got it together and am including a photo of my actual one but will tell you all the bad things about it and what I did to solve the issues.
1 It is made in Thailand and probably cost $8 to make it
2 My main issue was the hole not lining up either because they were drilled wrong or because the wooden dowel pins were warped. I keep playing with them until it finally went together.
3 There must have been at least 20-25 knicks in the woods in many places, by chance I happen to have a wood touch up pen that was the exact color so corrected that.
4 Someone else stated these are solid boards, well yes and no. They are not press board but made of strips of wood glued together then stained to conceal this. Almost like butcher block.
5 They include wooden hole plugs to hide the screws and they were a booger to get in. Do not use a hammer as this will mess up the stain, use a rubber mallet or something.
6 It was not level no matter what I did and where I put it in the house. Again I am handy so I had some rubber leveling tape and put it under one of the feet and it was fine. One of the bottoms of the legs was cut at a slight angle.
7 Everything you need is included unless you decide to hammer in the wooden plugs but for Gods sake be careful. Even the Allen Wrench for the screws is included ( I always save these, you can never have enough tools )
I have decided to keep it but think I could have gotten it at a discount dollar store for $19.99 but oh well I still love
Check out the photo of mine in my bathroom
I gave it the 3 stars due to frustration factor and overall quality.
This is a great little end table for a flop sofa near an entertainment area. Controllers, remotes, some dvds and books. This is very useful and is easy to assemble.
This is a nicely made shelf. I purchases the 2 narrow version, because we needed a smallish table to hold our cordless phone base/answering machine. This was the height I wanted, so I decided to give it a try, as the price was right and Ive purchased a few other pieces.
It assembles very easily. I generally use a impact driver with a hex bit, which in this case made the assembly take less than 10 minutes. The shelf looks nice, there was a small ding on the back side of the right leg, but it goes against the wall, so it didnt bother me. I did have to shim one leg very slightly.. I was putting felt on the bottom of the legs anyway, so I just added a thicker piece on the one leg to keep it from wobbling. I did think that was worth docking one star.
All in all, its a nice shelf and solid for the price, and Ill continue to buy and recommend products.
