I bought two of these to use as bedside tables. The boxes arrived pretty beaten up, but the pieces were all undamaged due to lots of styrofoam all around them. Assembly was easy, about a half hour each. There were a few nicks and marks on exposed areas, but not enough to warrant replacing them, and the unexposed areas were all really marked up. One cam lock broke during installation/the wooden for them is soft, almost like pewter/definitely too soft to do their job. Ive now had the tables for a week and they continue to reek of chemicals, though not nearly as strongly as day 1. The box actually declares the coating contains lead, so dont let kids or pets chew them! Overall, they fall into the murky category of: if I could unbuy them I would, but theyre not so bad Im getting rid of them.
Theres a flyer in the box that says they really want to earn a 5 star review. I saw it and thought, oh jeez. But you know what, this little cabinet might be the nicest little pre/fab piece of furniture Ive ever built. It went together easy, all the holes lined up perfectly. It is a very nice finish. Pretty design. I love the color, blue. Its a really great size for many uses. Its sturdy. It really feels like a good quality piece of furniture. Im very happy. They did earn a 5 star review.
I ordered two tables prior to the reviews where the cam bolt system do not lock correctly, mine did not lock at all and very frustrating as its the key to the stability of the night stand. I contacted Altra and they are sending me new cam locks so hopefully that will resolve the issue, but I am slightly doubtful. The drawers went together pretty easily. The quality is about what I expected for the price I paid so I am fine with the minor wood imperfections / mostly in the back or where parts go together.
My advice to the company is to figure out an alternative to the cam locks!
I got this during prime day as it was a great deal for a product with great reviews. My table was easy to build and looks great in my bedroom. It is sturdy and the drawers work nicely!
I should have listened to the other reviewers before deciding to purchase this end table. The CAM bolts did not work correctly to cinch the parts together tightly. I sent both units back to . Unfortunately this means I wasted 20.00/unit just in freight.

Nice but scratches very easily
Bought 2/ scratches all over surface in a matter of months. Scratches from just setting items on it such as cups and phones or remote controls etc.
Exceeded Expectations
We got two of these on Prime Day and Im so happy we did. Great value. They are sturdy/heavy and look great.
Lead, smelly, otherwise nice

Very nice tables
The tables are beautiful and very nice. The only problem is the drawer bottoms are very flimsy. I had to reinforce them in order to use.
One Star
crappy quality. couldnt even assemble it.
Very nice indeed

Look nice, but cam locks a pain

Super cute, and fairly cheap!

Theres are better alternatives out there.
