Monarch SpecialtiesAccent End Side Lamp Table with Shelf, 24" x 12" x 22", Dark Taupe

I'll preface by saying that I enjoy putting together IKEA furniture, and had purchased this table to match the "Dark Gray Stain" of an IKEA Hemnes dresser.Quality: The table arrived with one scratch in the lower platform. All other pieces were present and as expected. There are stickers provided to cover exposed screw heads. For a nursery, I was happy with this, since the plastic screw caps are choking hazards, but it would have been nice to have the screw heads sunk into the wood so that the stickers could lay flat.Assembly: I felt that the assembly was moderately complicated for what seemed like a simple table. One piece wasn't labeled with a sticker. The trickiest part was putting together the lower platform and the second pieces that form the legs. Instructions could definitely be clearer for these points, since the instructions don't call out the pilot holes in the leg pieces. (We put them in the wrong spot the first time and had to redo a step.)Final product: This table feels sturdy. Edges are a little sharp, so I'm considering placement away from recliners, etc. The color matches the dresser very well (slightly lighter, but similar toned). The assembly took two people about an hour to complete.Overall, I'm pleased with the purchase, but subtracted one star for slightly unclear instructions and the scratched piece.

Know that this is a plastic veneer. It looks good, meaning i chose the walnut one and it does look like walnut HOWEVER the screws are exposed and they use a sticker to cover the screw heads ... maybe I can live with that, although it creates a noticeable bump - see picture. What really bothers me is the color of the sticker does not match the walnut veneer - both in color and grain. So using the sticker emphasizes the screw head. Not a fan - gives me a (better) perspective of Ikea products!

Cute little table. HOWEVER, you have to put gold screws in that show on the sides of the table legs. They do not have proper coverings for these screw like some other products I have had. They give you STICKERS! They make the whole table look cheap and I am considering sending it back. If it wasn't for this one thing I would have given it 5 stars. If the manufacturer is reading this I would greatly appreciate it if you could make something else like the small plastic screw covers that most pieces have. I am very concerned that these will not last and they look awful anyway.

I recently redecorated my living room with a farmhouse theme. Lots of barn wood frames, shelves, etc. and needed a small end table. I hunted for one in a similar reclaimed wood style and found few to choose from in my price range. I didn't want drawers or doors or anything other than this simple look. It is perfect for my living room, fits just right next to my love seat, and looks great. The size and color were way better than I had expected and I've gotten lots of compliments on it. Assembly is very easy too.

We needed a small end table to fit between our couch and the wall and we eyeballed this table for a while. When we finally ordered it, it was extremely easy to put together (I did it myself in less than an hour) and very sturdy. The bottom shelf is large enough to hold a laptop and it even comes with rubber feet to prevent floor damage. We love this table and I highly recommend it.

The holes are not properly aligned to assemble this table. I Ordered two and was able to put one together with the help of a power drill, which took over an hour, but the second was impossible. I received a replacement and it, too, has improperly aligned holes. It's not worth the trouble of trying to fix it and it can't be replaced at this point, so I'll just have to throw it away. Don't waste your time and money like I did!

It's not awful but we certainly wish we would have purchased something else and spent more. We were looking for a specific size and shape and this fit the bill. The directions were somewhat confusing and not labeled correctly. Our biggest complaint is that our instructions didn't indicate what screws should be used in certain steps which caused us to create a hole in the top of the table. We tried to patch it up but it just looks awful. We currently have a candle hiding the damage and are debating on tossing this and calling it a loss and finding something else. Regardless of this incident, the quality is so-so, given the price it's what's expected. The corners of the table are already showing some wear and tear after 2 weeks. If you're looking for a cheaper option for a side table, this is it.

Best thing about this table is the size. It was absolutely perfect for what I needed. Everything else..absolutely not. First of all..the price for this table is ridiculous. I paid $50 and I still don’t think that is even worth it. Seeing it go for over $100 infuriates me. When I started to assemble it, all the parts were a headache. So much effort for such a little table. Then I noticed the tabletop part there was an area where the white coating had peeled up and I was hoping that part wouldn’t show..NOPE right in front for everyone to see.Also, for a table that is now going for $100+ you would think they would take the effort to put the coating of whatever color it is over the entire composite board. No to that again. I would absolutely not repurchase this table. Be aware before you buy and please read the reviews!

My wife loves the color of this table (Dark Taupe Reclaimed-look), and I like the size.Unfortunately it feels cheaper than I had expected. There is no reason for there to be a dozen exposed screws. I haven't attached the screw-stickers yet because I want to take it apart and counter-sink the screw holes.The bottom shelf should have 4 sides like the top. When you look at the table from the side it looks skimpy.Personally I will probably throw away the plastic feet and attach either felt or rubber, I'm worried the plastic will scratch the floor since it slides easily. Being a narrow table it also seems like it will fall over easily. If it had 4 sides to the bottom shelf I would have attached some ballast down low, but that will look silly with the open sides.Considering the price it's alright, If i had paid any more I would probably be disappointment, but this was cheaper than Swedish made furniture, and I couldn't find a narrow end table from the Swedes. I won't feel bad throwing these away when we can buy some solid wood furniture.

Update: We kept them for a week and they were such poor quality and the paint started coming off the edges and they scratched with just a remote on the table. We bought white, and we returned them both.Previous review: Great little table for what we need. Easy to set up (with 2 people and a drill) very tough for just one person at certain steps, due to the angles (trying to drill and balance the pieces at the same time). Little bit cheap material for the cost of the table, and the foot things are useless, just use felt ones. The screws showing on the side could have been better planned; it comes with dot stickers, and you don’t notice them afterward, but it seems a bit silly when it could have easily been done from the inside. Overall the table looks very nice when it’s finished and fits perfectly in our small space, so I am happy with it, but in my opinion it’s priced a bit high for what your getting quality wise.

I like this little table. It's perfect for my needs. I didn't bother to put the silly little plastic feet on since it's going on carpet anyway. It loses one star because it's kind of awkward to put together. Some of the screws, you need a small sort of screwdriver in order to get a good angle. Was kind of frustrating.

For the price this is pretty poorly made, its flimsy and came dented and scratched. Didn't expect much for 60 bucks but its worse than ikea furniture. The stupid stickers you use to hide the screws are tacky and see through. Mostly garbage.

Bought this for my newborn daughter’s nursery and finally got around to assembling it... well no luck there as there are missing pieces which I’ve had to improvise with so I’m sure the integrity of the product is now compromised. Also, was expecting a far better quality product... wood is very cheap and stained. I’ll likely have to replace very soon. Keep your money and don’t purchase.
