Review on SEI Furniture Black Nailhead Storage Trunk: End Table by Jim Acquista

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good price, solid finish

Assembled, this wooden table is of quite good quality. Good enough means that the joints at the side and top joints are more uneven than on a table that was assembled in the workshop by an experienced table builder. The wood is heavy and more than worth its price. The disadvantage of this table is the assembly. As I read the reviews, which took an hour to construct, I laughed at the incompetent reviewers. It took me an hour and a half and by the time I was done I was bleeding and sweating all over my body. It wasn't that the build was that difficult, it was that the parts fought me at every turn. Everything was awkward and difficult to see. I stabbed myself with sharp screws, pinched my fingers, reassembled the two sides and had to take everything apart and start over because the last step had the hinge holes on the wrong side. Follow the instructions carefully and pay attention to which side parts you should use, they are marked with letters. If you want to know how tedious assembly can be, go out on the patio and disassemble the grill and then reassemble it. . If you don't have a grill, use your car's engine. I am happy with the table. It looks like photos. The wood is thick and heavy. It's a little more than I thought. 4 stars.

Pros
  • Black with matte silver and transition style; Diamond head trim
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
