Coffee Table with Storage Drawers in Walnut Finish

Coffee table arrived with non-trivial damage. One drawer was broken apart, large chip in lower shelf, top was obviously creatd from different chunks of wood so left and right sides were different shades (lighter on left side than right side) with a rough join in the middle. I contacted the manufacturer (Coaster) who refused to do anything and told me to contact Amazon who had me contact Visiondecor who I wrestled with for several weeks before finally getting a partial refund from them so I could get the damage fixed rather than go through the hassle of repackaging and returning the table. As it stands I would avoid buying from Visiondecor (or pray your item doesn't arrive damaged)! Aside from that its a decent coffee table, solid and made of real wood.

This is a typical cheaply made particle board coffee table. The fit and finish are poor, and I repeat it's particle board with the possible exception of the legs. Had it been packed well and arrived undamaged, I may have managed another star for my review. However it was packed and shipped horrendously. It looks like whoever was in charge was giving bonuses for speed, bubble wrap was tossed in the box as an afterthought, packing tape was wrapped around the table and drawers directly to the finish. Yes, it was THAT bad. The instruction sheet was balled up in a corner. So of course there was damage. Dents and kicks all over. The drawers, having not been supported properly and unprotected, were shipped in place in the coffee table, and had bounced around during shipping, resulting in cracked drawers that I will need to glue and lots of rub damage to the surrounding table area. This table looks used, like it has been moved 2 or 3 times from one apartment to another on it's side in the back of a pickup truck next to a shovel. I am angry to say the least! Will I bother trying to return this monstrosity? No, I'm sure the trouble and expense of trying to send this piece of junk back will be more than it's worth in a refund I may never get. However if I can prevent just one prospective customer from purchasing this THING I will have considered my job done. Thank You.

Buy Coffee Table with Storage Drawers in Walnut Finish Now

I really like this coffee table. It looks in real life almost exactly as pictured... it's made of solid wood. Not particle board, or plywood with a veneer, but very solid pieces of wood with a great finish.

The table has heft to it, and is quite sturdy. I'm surprised that furniture like this is available so cheaply over the internet.

Before purchasing this, I looked around several furniture stores, ranging from very high-end places to IKEA. Unfortunately, not too many people carry these sorts of wooden, classic designs for a good price. Either they are ultra-modern with glass (which I don't like), attempt to look like this table but are made out of crap materials, or in fact made out of wood and look like this but are ridiculously priced.

The table is fairly easy to assemble as well. Very happy with my purchase.

I bought this coffee table and a complimentary end table. I'm fairly happy with it. For apartment living it gives me some additional storage space for remotes and other odds and ends. Likewise there is space underneath to put other items... when I figure what goes underneath it... I will eventually get a box for the end table to store Wii controllers. I'll certainly let others judge how this item fits within their space. Assembly was reasonable although not the best that I've seen of the items I have had to assemble to this point.

Before I go into details, I'd like to say I am very impressed with this item so far. I've had it for a few days now and, overall, it looks great and seems sturdy. The drawers and the lower shelf are useful features that increase the storage space without adding to the footprint. The top is a smooth, flat surface without any major flaws (though there is a strange, dark, 'C'-shaped mark on mine... I'm sure everyone checking out the table is going to rub at it attempting to figure out what it is or trying to clean it off).

Now for the details.

The packaging prevented any damage to the item but was daunting to open, lacking any flaps to pull apart. Not wanting to scratch the contents, I didn't use a knife. I wound up ripping it apart starting from an existing tear probably made from shipping. Inside, the packing material looked like liquid styrofoam had been sprayed and solidified all over the thin wrapping protecting the bulk of the table. I had never seen anything like this before but, at the end of the day, this didn't affect my overall satisfaction with the table itself.

The assembly was easy. The table was mostly complete, with assembly required for only the legs and the bottom shelf. It was the quickest piece of furniture I'd ever had to put together, actually, so I was happy to have my table nearly ready to use out of the box. Plus, I didn't have to deal with any cam screws (I guess I'm old fashioned, but I prefer the real deal of "true" screws). Though for anyone who prefers that the assembly requires only the hardware provided, this does mean you'll need a power tool to complete this.

The bottoms of the drawers are thin, which seems to be the trend for furniture offered online. This should be fine for the coffee table's purpose, though, but I would've preferred that the drawer bottom be at least an 1/8 of an inch thicker. (I've had a bad experience with a dresser's posterboard drawers bucking under the weight of their contents, but, then again, a coffee table isn't expected to contain as much stuff).

Despite the small flaws, I'm giving this 5 stars. It does what a coffee table needs to do and goes a little further with the drawers and shelf, so it has a great value for its price.
