I love this set! I’ll include a couple of construction tips, one unpackaging tip and another tip in this review.
First of all, these are really sturdy. The “wheels” don’t move. They’re decorative. These pieces are heavy (especially the coffee table). I moved the boxes with a handcart to the room where they’re going to be located before constructing them.
First tip - unpackaging these items. They are packaged REALLY well, so well in fact, that I had a hard time getting them out of the box! Luckily my son arrived before I started the 2nd piece and he simply used a box cutter to slice open a couple of sides and voila!
Second tip - two people aren’t necessary to build these, but especially with the coffee table, it’s a lot easier with another person.
Third tip - when you get to the point of attaching the bottom shelf (last step), if you tightened the legs (previous step), the holes for the bottom shelf won’t line up. It took me a bit to realize that I simply needed to loosen all the legs, then attach the bottom shelf, then tighten the legs. Once I figured that out, it was a lot easier.
Last tip - this set only comes with one side table. I needed 2. They sell the side table as a stand alone item here on Wayfair. Just note that the color description for the single side table is slightly different than for the set, but they’re exactly the same color.
Once you set one of these up, the rest are a breeze.
I am completely satisfied! I love the set! I just wish they’d give the option of a 3-piece set. I wouldn’t have had to spend all the time finding the stand alone side table to add to my order.
