Review on OM Meditation Table: Hand-Carved Mango Wood Puja Shrine For Prayer And Reflection By DharmaObjects by Jaleel Akuffo

Revainrating 1 out of 5

UPDATE: NOT 12 inches wide; very small, other issues

UPDATE: this table is NOT 12 inches wide, it’s only 11 3/4 from left to right and 11 7/8 from top to bottom. Definitely returning this.This table is 1ft tall x 1ft wide x 1ft long, so to say this can be used as a small bedside table/nightstand is misleading (unless you sleep on the floor and only plan to put your phone and a bottle of water on the tabletop). This table is sitting on carpet so I can’t really comment on whether the legs are uneven but to the naked eye they seem to be even. The legs have a number written with permanent marker to show which leg corresponds to which corner (corners numbers are also written in permanent marker), which looks tacky but luckily it’s covered once you screw the legs in.One leg gave me trouble and seemed to twist endlessly without gripping into the table and had me worried the hole was stripped. It eventually stopped but it makes me wonder how long this will last since we are military and will have to take it apart and put back together several times with the moves we will be doing in the future. The detail and wood color is very nice but I’m not sure the quality justifies the price. We’ll see how long this lasts.Overall, my suggestion is to offer this table in larger sizes (I’d go for 18 or 24 inches in height and 24 inches in width/length for the table top since I’m using this as a meditation altar as well as for tarot and oracles cards; there’s really only enough room for a 3-card spread and not much else), I’m contemplating returning this for a bigger table but really do like the yin-yang design. And instead of holes drilled directly into the wood, put some type of metal casing so you screw the leg into the metal and solve the wood stripping problem. And finally, don’t number the legs and holes with permanent marker, use stickers or engraving or something less tacky. Using the metal casing instead of drilling into the wood should also remove the need to number them since they should all fit exactly the same into the metal.
