Gerarda Coffee Tables & End Tables

I had a little bit of a hard time at first trying to figure out to put this together so the instructions could be clearer. Once I figured it out it was easy. I also was uncomfortable that it was wrapped in holiday and baby tissue. Just seems odd. I also didn’t realize how short the table is - unsure how it will fit under a couch arm… lastly the marble top is a solid stone so I love that.

This end table replaced one we had for years! I was worried because we were all so used to our old table, but this one is perfect! I love the marble top contrast with the black base and the height is perfect for our couch.

Packaging was SO weird (see picture with the Huggies wrapping that was around the poles); very unlike product manufactured items. Also one of the bolts was black and the other silver for the leg portions that show (both should’ve been black) so you can’t see them. Instructions were also not very descript so I had to use deductive reasoning to put the legs together, but ultimately figured it out. It actually is an easy product to put together. As for use, well…I will not be using it as a side/coffee table as I had intended to because it is too short (should’ve looked closer at height maybe almost 2ft). Major reason I gave such low rating is the stability - if you put pressure on any of the table edges not directly in the triangle open front legs, it does tip.

I am rating this 3 stars for a few reasons. First, it is confusing to assemble and the directions aren’t much help. Second, it has messy adhesive on the bottom of the tabletop. Third, I don’t think this is real marble. It’s definitely a stone or some type of ceramic, but you can tell from the edge and the printed-looking “marble vein” that it’s not what it is pretending to be. Last, and perhaps most important, there is no way to make the table level and it easily tips over when bumped. It comes with little leveling screw-feet for 2 of the 3 floor contact points, but I had to remove those altogether to even get this thing close to level (still NOT level), leaving jagged, sharp metal around the holes where the screw-feet were supposed to go. It is just not very functional.

Easy to assemble and have a great modern look, but not reliable. One came in fine, but the second one is crooked regardless of how much we tighten the legs, etc.
