Review on 🏠 Rustic Brown Homelegance Factory 24'' x 22'' End Table by Patricia Valverde

Just assembled by myself over the weekend (female, approx 40) and it was pretty damn easy compared to other, cheaper furniture I've assembled. Terminator 2 had already started on TV and when I finished it wasn't even finished. :) This includes unpacking and counting/preparing the items. As other reviewers have said, make sure you use longer screws on the top and shorter screws on the shelves. The simple instructions did NOT say which screws to use for which step (see notes I made in the instructions). I spent some time sorting and fitting washers and locks on each bolt so they were easy to grab and go by hand. Turn the screws until I'm ready for the hex wrench. I was gentle and didn't over tighten and it seems quite durable. I rummaged through my tool box and found an alternate wrench (see photo) - it did a lot for the pain in my arm so use it if you have one. I'm still waiting for my chair (perhaps lost?) and I need to find a solution for containers that look nice and can be used as drawers. I'm a pen collector (addicted) and like to have variety on hand. Shelves are good but uncomfortable. I'm also considering getting a dual monitor mount when mine arrives - I'll update my review when I do. Wire management will be the next project. And get used to switching laptops for work and play. I will also confirm that the top is not smooth - there is no clear pattern or writing directly on the surface. You can even feel it through your mouse pad, so be forewarned if you have any sensory considerations. I pulled the gaming mouse pad all the way to the edge - it scratches a bit - I think it will wear out over time. When unpacking the shelves, I also noticed a slightly processed wood smell. Not too bad, but hopefully it will weather and disappear soon.
