SIMPLIHOME Warm Shaker SOLID WOOD 48 inch Wide Rectangle Rustic Coffee Table in Light Golden Brown, for the Living Room and Family Room

Best Coffee Table Ever!
This coffee table is superior to others I’ve owned that were assemble yourself! It was so easy to put together and I did it all myself in about an hour… senior disabled person! All of the instructions were very clear and the pictures were accurate. Each piece was labeled front so there was no chance of putting it together wrong. The cams came with plastic sleeves on them so you didn’t hurt your fingers screwing them in, and the locks went on with ease and tightened perfectly. This table is sturdy and durable. The wood was solid pine as described on the Amazon page, and the gray wash is just enough to make the piece interesting and rustic. The knobs that came with it were described as antique brass, which they were almost pewter colored which I much preferred to brass. They even made the bottom accessible so that you can even change or tighten the back decorative knobs if you need or want to. I like that they designed the back to mimic the front, since that is seen by the people sitting on the couch… great example of what attention to detail is included in the design of this table. The shelf in the middle is only about 4 inches so you can’t really use it for much other than magazine of book storage, but that too is ok with me as I have a great many HGTV magazines! The drawers are very wide, but only about 4 inches deep, so I think they are great for storing remotes, but I’m not sure how else you would use them unless you stored dvd’s or cd’s laying down. All in all this is the best piece of DIY furniture I have ever owned, and intend to buy the matching pieces as I can afford them. I got this on sale for $174, and to me it’s the best bargain on Amazon I’ve purchased so far, and I’ve been shopping here since 2000. I have included a phot, just remember I replaced the knobs that came with it. HIGEST recommendation!!

Solid Wood Coffee Table Is a Solid Deal
The furniture arrived on time and well protected in safe boxing. Assembly took 2 1/2 hours by myself, but I am meticulous and incredibly careful. I had already put together two end tables, so as a handyman the tasks were familiar. I used the packaging to protect the finish as I assembled all the pieces. The finished product really complimented my decor and contributed to the overall theme wonderfully. The honey oak color was accurate to the description. The drawers operate very smoothly. Overall, excellent value and a nice addition to our home!

Two Orders: Pieces had scratches and had split (and been filled in). Poor quality. Do not recommend.
I really wanted this table to work out because I liked the style and look, but unfortunately, both our original order and replacement had issues.The Original: It wasn’t too hard to assemble, but when we got to the drawers, several of the pieces had cracks where the wood had split (several inches long) at the holes that had been drilled into the wood. It looked like someone tried to fill some of them in with wood fill. Other pieces had dents/scratches in the wood. I wrote the company about it, and they said they’d send me a replacement for the 4 pieces that were damaged. It took over a week to get them (they literally moved one state per day all the way from the west coast to the east coast), and when we did–they didn’t send 4 pieces, and the ones they sent didn’t fit the drawer bottom (the slit to slide the drawer bottom into was too small)! I called about this, and they said they’d have to investigate–that took several days and calls on my part just to be told the pieces they sent were correct and we’d have to send it back for a replacement. We sent it back.Replacement from Amazon: For starters, the drawer pieces in this were the same as we had with the original–meaning the replacement parts the company sent previously were 100% not right for our table. This table also had scratches–including on the tabletop! It looked like some (but not all) scratches had again been filled with wood fill. I’m sure there were other issues, but this was such a distressing experience that I blocked out most of it at this point. We didn’t even try to assemble it–inspected all the pieces first, saw the issues, and back out to Amazon it went. What a waste of time and effort.This table is very similar (identical) to one sold under other names and brands at many other retailers–I debated trying one of them, but this experience was so off putting, I didn’t want to try a third table. Yes, I’m aware this is a relatively inexpensive table, but you’d at least expect that the pieces wouldn’t have been doctored to make them look like they were okay and that replacement pieces would be correct. I personally wouldn’t want to have a table in my home that had scratches on the surface and wood fill in places, but if you’re interested in a table that does the job of being a coffee table for maybe 3-5 years max and has a nice overall appearance (though likely susceptible to your own normal wear and tear), then maybe this is right for you. If you care about quality and want a table that is in good shape/quality for more than ~4 years, I’d shy away. Good table for a first apartment for someone just out of college or a young professional if you’re okay with the fact that there are likely to be many flaws in the wood.I ended up purchasing a Pottery Barn coffee table instead–obviously, it cost three and a half times as much because they have their flat rate delivery–but at least I can trust that the table will be in pristine condition when it arrives (and good customer service to fix issues correctly) and excellent quality and durability for years to come.
