Review on Simpli Home Shaker Solid Distressed by Ivan Carson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Revain did it

In general, the purchase was quite successful. It's hard to rate because I'm not sure I would be as happy if I bought the same product elsewhere. Revain Prime service turned a disappointing purchase into a better one. To start I bought my table on Prime Day in July with a good discount. The table has arrived; We put it together - not something I'd like to do on my own, but those familiar with a toolbox should be fine. Then we found that the drawer handle was missing. When I contacted customer service I asked them to just send us a drawer. We really didn't feel like taking it apart, stuffing it back in the box and sending it back; We also didn't feel like we should go out and buy a damn drawer pull unless there was an incentive attached. Many companies would go down this awkward path: either back or not. Luckily Revane told me we could either get a third off (on top of our main day savings) or get another table for free. Oh damn yes! We bought a drawer, assembled a second table and now we have new furniture at thrift store prices; in fact, maybe even better. The wood is quite thick as it looks in the picture. The drawer is about big enough to fit a couple of magazines and maybe two or three remote controls or items of the same size without having to pull things out to get them out. The drawer slides out smoothly without binding. However, I do notice that while the table legs aren't terribly unbalanced, they aren't exactly the same length, and when I put my hand on a corner there's a slight tilt. However, it is stable enough that my coffee cup doesn't fly away or my cell phone falls off the table. He just wobbles a little. If given the choice to buy them under the exact same circumstances, I would do it in a jiffy. However, I'm not sure I would pay full retail price for them from any other seller.
