Review on 🍴 Stylish Snack Table: Brown and Burnished Copper for Modern Decor by Liz Wolfe

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good accent desk, though.

I'm glad I ordered two of these tables. I was the only one assembling the tables but if I had another warm body the process would have gone much smoother. The second table was much easier to put together and overall I'm happy with these tables but still feel I paid too much for them. Upon closer inspection, however, the only really solid parts are the bottom and back panels. The tabletop probably wouldn't last too long without coasters or a piece of glass cut to fit the tabletop but in my case the space is used very little and the tables are the right height and it's fine for drinking on hand or for remote control. When assembling these tables, please proceed as follows: Look at the picture of the assembled table in the instructions. Pay attention to the drawing of the back panel and make sure you have the same configuration. Look at the attached product sheet and make sure everything is there. Look at the diagram and make sure you are using the correct screws for the correct part. Now you can assemble the table with the Allen key provided. It took me a little time to assemble the first table, adjusting and tightening the screws so the table was level and stable. This frustrated me a bit because sometimes I had a hard time with small screws going into small holes. By the time the first diagram was completed (about an hour) I was shaking a little and "nervous as a Sunday school whore". The second table was quickly assembled with the first after trial and error. If you buy this table and you are a soft person or a crappy DIYer, to make the assembly hassle-free, do the following: 1. Look at the picture of the table.2. As you start fitting the sections together, hand tighten loosely. The decorative arches were a bit tricky to put on the first table, but if you loosen a screw on one end of the metal arch, screwing in the other end is easy. so that you can evenly align the screw with the hole.3. If the table is loosely assembled, start hand tightening from the bottom and work your way up. I found that when my screws were screwed in tight, the table top wasn't quite level. After the table is set, sit back and watch and enjoy the fact that you made it yourself. After that, take a good shower and a Clonipine or two and start the evening.
