Non-pretentious/elitist review: Solid wood construction and sturdiness makes this a great value for the price. It was easy to set up since the table and drawers come as one assembled unit -- legs were the only thing that needed assembly. Top notch quality - 5/5
With that said, the design misses the mark a bit. I was looking for something that would be a distinct accent in terms of design -- something that I'd notice often and just think looked great and inspiring. It's not quite that. It feels less like a purposefully chosen design piece and more like a solid utility table. I fully realize that's just me not thinking through what I wanted very well, but if you're looking for a true mid-century aesthetic that feels like a centerpiece in your space, this one might not be that for you. The fake drawers on one side really drive that point home...makes it feel a bit like a caricature of the mid-century aesthetic. Good reminder for me in the future to spend the extra money and get something lived in, unique, and intentional for the design I want. 4/5
