First of all, I don't normally buy stuff if they don't have reviews but I took a chance with this. Overall, I like it. I am writing this review so others will know what they are getting into.
This was literally delivered today. It came in excellent shape, nothing broken. I opened the box and took everything out, all the pieces were there.

First of all, I don't normally buy stuff if they don't have reviews but I took a chance with this. Overall, I like it. I am writing this review so others will know what they are getting into.
This was literally delivered today. It came in excellent shape, nothing broken. I opened the box and took everything out, all the pieces were there. It is moderately heavy and feels like good quality. All of the holes match up (even the drawers) and I didn't have any problem putting it together by myself. The instructions only have pictures (no words) but all the parts are labeled with letters and numbers for easy identification. I like the stickers that come with it to cover the screw holes.
Now, the first problem I encountered was the tiny screws that are used to put the drawer tracks on. Because I have built several pieces in my lifetime, I knew not to over tighten the screws. However, you have to take great care with these and go very easy or the heads snap off. (See picture). This happened to two of the screws. They come with extra screws but the body of the screw is stuck inside the wood. (See picture).
The pads that come with it are very cheap and thin. As the laminate part of the table goes further than the wood by a tiny bit, the pads would not have stopped my floor from getting scratched. I used my leftover gorilla pads from another project which works a lot better.
My final issue, for right now since I just got it today, are the drawer knobs. The drawer knobs stripped from the first screw and is now garbage. If they had just provided a little bit longer screw, it would have been fine. The other two knobs went on fine but does not show in the picture. I didn't plan to even try those ones since I have to buy a new set.
