Review on Walker Edison Furniture Company Bookmatched Furniture by Jess White

Other reviews were pretty accurate

This is my first product review, but after creating this item I felt compelled to do so. First of all, there are some negative reviews about this tool. When I opened the box and saw what was inside, I saw what I thought at the time was a very simple, beautiful piece of furniture. I knew this would be your major Ikea/Target/Walmart build and I wouldn't have high expectations for craftsmanship or quality. However, along the way you discover how poorly made this thing is in terms of cuts and holes. Literally NONE of them lined up the way they should have. The slots on the back of the console meant for inserting the support pieces didn't match up so they became useless and I assembled this without them. Many of the holes are either not drilled properly or are drilled at 1/8 to 3/4 inch. To seal this thing I need to cut the back shelf off a bit and make a new back cutout to nail it to the back. All in all it was a bad experience and I wanted to say "you get what you pay for" but since it's almost $200 it should at least be built a little better. put it together You end up with a nice device, but you have to put in a lot of extra work to achieve it. If you don't know how or what you don't want to do to do a job that you probably don't need to do for this type of furniture, I would suggest looking elsewhere.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I'll write back later
