Important Notes
As with any assembled furniture, careful attention should be paid during setup. Some customers have reported receiving incomplete kits with missing screws—a rare occurrence, but one worth checking before beginning assembly. Always verify all parts against the instruction manual and contact customer service promptly if components are absent. Follow the provided instructions closely to ensure proper stability and longevity. Minor adjustments may be necessary after initial use, which is normal for particleboard-based constructions. Please note that this product is intended strictly for indoor residential use and should not be exposed to excessive humidity, moisture, or direct sunlight to preserve the Rich Walnut™ and Slate Gray™ finishes over time.

Functional Beauty with a Small Caveatâ¦
Iâve been using my Sauder coffee table for 9 months now and itâs been a welcome addition to my living space. Its standout features are its roomy drawers and the beautiful finish.The drawers are spacious enough to hold all my blankets, which is great for keeping things tidy. Not many coffee tables offer this kind of storage, so itâs a real bonus.The finish is another highlight. Itâs beautifully textured and gives the table a stylish, high-quality look. Itâs held up well over the months, retaining its appealing aesthetic.Putting the table together was a breeze, too. The instructions were clear, and all the pieces fit together nicely. It was a simple, straightforward process, which is always a relief.The only minor drawback to note is the tableâs sturdiness. Because of the drawers, the table lacks a bit of stability. You can feel it if you rest your feet or legs on it. Itâs not a deal-breaker by any means, but itâs something to be aware of.Overall, Iâve been quite happy with my Sauder coffee table. Itâs stylish, practical, and easy to build. Despite the minor issue with sturdiness, itâs been a reliable and functional piece of furniture thatâs enhanced my living room. Iâd definitely recommend it, with the caveat about the sturdiness.

Iâm in love
This table looks great! You can tell itâs not real wood, but the quality is much better than I expected. Looks well made and elegant. I know it wonât last a lifetime though. Easy to put together. That is if you follow the instructions to the T. Make sure you cover your floors so it doesnât scratch. I put down a bunch of towels. My guess is that a lot of people who complain about defects didnât cover the floors and the table suffered because of it. The drawers rails are smooth and they slide easily with minimal noise. Iâm very pleased.

Contemplating? Go Ahead and Buy it!
I got this on sale. 51% off and thank god I saw it when I did! Like most things on Amazon I didnât expect it to be the best quality for a coffee table, but it is amazing. Everything came labeled, had all my screws, and the instructions were super easy to read. I think the only thing that was alarming was no extra screws, so if you lose one thing you are gonna have to sacrifice the integrity of the coffee table. The pieces themselves are thick not plywood or whatever. It only took me 45 minutes with being interrupted by my toddler multiple times. I do wish they offered this same type of coffee table in a longer version, but thats a personal preference.

VERSATILE & STURDY
I originally bought this as an apartment warming gift for my son and his fiancee (she actually picked it out). Fast forward a year later they no longer like this style/color (they are 23) and want something different so I have it back and use it staging my listings because it matches any decor! The drawers come out making it much easier to lift and move around. It looks great in just about any room! I had it for a moment in my den and my cats like to crawl in the drawers! The drawers are DEEP! You can store blankets, games, pillows! Great for an AIRBNB for extra bedding for a sofa bed!! SUPER AWESOME TABLE!!!

Worth it!
Exactly like pictured we have had for years and it has now gotten abused and still held up pretty well. We have kids and it withheld for them as a storage for their coloring stuff for awhile. Well worth the price!

Looks pretty decent actually
Cute table. Although the instructions are long, they’re very clear.The different parts are in separate compartments which makes it even easier to assemble.I didn’t like the teal handles on the drawers so I just didn’t attached them.Most of the parts are quite solid and sturdy.The only tricky thing was the drawers. The holes designated for the small screws that hold up the railing aren’t very deep and so the screws don’t go all the way in – making it difficult for the rail to work properly. I had to attach them to a different part of the drawer to make it work. Only other comment is that the edges are quite sharp, so if you have small kids you’ll need to baby-proof it.

Nice, but be careful with pets and small children
I really like this coffee table, it went together easy and looks great. I’ve had it for about 8 months now and it’s holding up well. Only one concern, the drawers slide very easy. I didn’t think my cats would be able to open the drawers, they don’t mess with other furniture, but the cats are able to slide drawers open and get in very easily. I’ve had to rescue a cat meowing inside the closed drawer a few times. Not a big deal now that I know to look for it, but I stopped keeping blankets in the drawers so it’s not so inviting to them. I imagine toddlers would also be able to slide the drawers and it could be a pinching hazard for little fingers.
