I bought two of these accent tables on sale to act as nightstands in my adult Star Wars themed bedroom. I really didnt want square nightstands because my room isnt that big and the bulk of squares would look too busy. These were the greatest find!
When taking the nightstands out of the boxes, I had to be careful and not use a sharp edge to tear it apart. If you cut too deep into the box you will scratch the nightstand and nobody has time for that! The legs are individually wrapped in a foamy/like plastic to protect the finish and are a bit annoying to unravel, nonetheless, Im happy that they were wrapped period.
The screws, bolts and other little pieces are in a box located in the drawer of the table top. A small allen wrench is also included in the box. At first the amount of little pieces seems overwhelming to the eye but I assure that if you separate all the pieces and prepare all the screws before assembly it will make it a breeze to put together.
When putting the table together, there are a few tricky parts, one being how close the two front legs are to the drawer. You have to be patient when screwing in the bottom screws that connect the legs to the table because the drawer will be in the way of turning the wrench. There is also a bit of a struggle when screwing the smaller screws into the L shaped brackets that connect the lower table to the legs. Some reviewers complained about the instructions being too hard to understand due to it being a pictorial but it really is not that difficult. I promise that a 6 year old could build this table based on the pictures provided!
If you want this table top to last, I suggest getting a piece of glass or mirror cut in the diameter of the tabletop to preserve the finish. It is not as expensive as you may think and will add a bit of luxury to the overall look.
Once the table is finished being assembled, I know that you will enjoy the overall appeal! My lightsaber hilt lamp and Darth vader alarm clock have never adorn something as adorable and STURDY as this little wooden table!
Great table for the money spent!
