Starting off, I want you to know that I love the look of this table. I also want you to know that my living room is super small. I purchased this to give me room to add some family photos and things that wouldn't fit otherwise (not in the pictures yet because I'm still deciding which I want to print out)
First, it arrived well packaged and a day early. After I opened it and accounted for all parts, I did notice a unsightly scuff on the wood top but figured I would cover it with something. The instructions were clear and I put it together myself in about 30 minutes. Two people aren't necessary. Some people have said they had issues with the power outlet but so far it's good. Definitely, DO NOT over tighten the screws because they will dent the metal.
Placement, hmm-..
This is where I have the most issue. Like I said, I don't have a lot of space so the table has to be pushed back really close to the curtains. The problem with this is anyone using the USB cords for a phone pull on the curtains and sheers. I left it that way in the photo for you. That, for me, is annoying. I'm constantly straightening the curtains back. Probably won't be an issue if you have more room. Second, the width of the shelf is very narrow. It makes it difficult to stand larger pictures up because there simply isn't enough room. I'm thinking that the photos I choose will have to be 5x7,at the most, in order to fit. The problem with that is, as you can see, the table is shorter than the sofa. I'm not even sure you'll see the photos well. That is the most disappointing thing for me. I am thinking about putting something under the legs to make it taller since the sides on mine aren't visible because it's much shorter than the sofa. Although, I do prefer them hidden because I think the quality of the legs cheapen the look a little. The legs aren't the sturdiest but mine has no where to go so I'm good. Might want to note that depending on where you're putting it. Lastly, you can turn this so the outlet is in the front or back which is nice.
Overall, I really am glad I purchased the table. It looks good and allows people to plug in phones or chargers. I hope this review helps someone trying to decide. It works great as a table piece in our home.
Best price for the quality. If you need to mount a TV and have equipment in the wall with an outlet, I recommend this box. It works great as a table piece in our home.
