Review on ๐Ÿ“š Winsome Haley Shelf: Stylish Espresso addition for organized storage+ by Michele Rutland

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very pleasantly surprised.

I was looking for a small table or cabinet for my built in amplifier and CD player when I came across this unit from Winsome Wood. The sizing was spot on and the price was reasonable but online reviews were mixed so I was hesitant. As a result, there were simply no other options, so I ordered this device. I'm glad I did. Let me comment on two points that others have raised in their reviews. First the finish of the table. At this price point it's unreasonable to expect this table to be finished like fine furniture, but the finish on this unit is nonetheless very appealing. The most visible part, the top, has a smooth finish that allows the real grain of the wood to show through, and once assembled the entire unit looks significantly more expensive than it actually was. Second, the build process. Others note that some of the wooden parts in this device are quite soft. Armed with this knowledge, I very carefully assembled this part, lubricating the cam-lock bolts and hand threading them into the pre-drilled holes. Don't even think about using a power tool to assemble this device, just take your time, be gentle and you will be rewarded. Once assembled you have an attractive little table that works well for placing audio or video equipment, which was the main thing for me. I was pleasantly surprised at how good this little device is.
