Review on FURINNO 11158AM MBR Andrey Americano Furniture and Living Room Furniture by Elsa Lynch

So I took a chance after reading so many negative reviews online. I saw it was $40 and I had a $20 card that was expiring in a few days so I figured why not? I'm glad I made the purchase but a little disappointed that the color of the furniture looks more like oak in the photo when in reality it's gray oak (as described in the description). However, assembly was relatively easy. The only part I had trouble with was connecting the shelves to the top of the coffee table. The product came with no scratches on the wood (yes it's a particle but you get what you paid for) and all parts were included. The instructions correctly say that it takes half an hour and one person can do it if necessary. (I'm a 5'6" tall 108 lb female and I'm fine on my own.) I'm looking forward to using it as starting furniture for my apartment in September. As long as it lasts a year it will make me lots of money save as I have two jobs and am an FT student in paramedicine and emergency management programs.
