SIMPLIHOME Warm Shaker SOLID WOOD 48 inch Wide Rectangle Rustic Coffee Table in Light Golden Brown, for the Living Room and Family Room

This coffee table is superior to others I've owned that were assemble yourself! It was so easy to put together and I did it all myself in about an hour... senior disabled person! All of the instructions were very clear and the pictures were accurate. Each piece was labeled front so there was no chance of putting it together wrong. The cams came with plastic sleeves on them so you didn't hurt your fingers screwing them in, and the locks went on with ease and tightened perfectly. This table is sturdy and durable. The wood was solid pine as described on the Amazon page, and the gray wash is just enough to make the piece interesting and rustic. The knobs that came with it were described as antique brass, which they were almost pewter colored which I much preferred to brass. They even made the bottom accessible so that you can even change or tighten the back decorative knobs if you need or want to. I like that they designed the back to mimic the front, since that is seen by the people sitting on the couch... great example of what attention to detail is included in the design of this table. The shelf in the middle is only about 4 inches so you can't really use it for much other than magazine of book storage, but that too is ok with me as I have a great many HGTV magazines! The drawers are very wide, but only about 4 inches deep, so I think they are great for storing remotes, but I'm not sure how else you would use them unless you stored dvd's or cd's laying down. All in all this is the best piece of DIY furniture I have ever owned, and intend to buy the matching pieces as I can afford them. I got this on sale for $174, and to me it's the best bargain on Amazon I've purchased so far, and I've been shopping here since 2000. I have included a phot, just remember I replaced the knobs that came with it. HIGEST recommendation!!

DO NOT BUY THIS!! I've had this table for a week and it is already taking scratches from very light, normal use. The scratch in the photo attached was caused by a dinner plate being slid across it. The table top has a cheap, soft, thin finish on soft pine with veneered edges. I reached out to Simplihome customer service and got no response from them. A $500 piece of junk.Update: About 5 days after contacting Simplihome, they responded. First response was that I should repair the table myself, i.e., go the my local hardware store and get stain/finish and fix it myself. I let them know that was not a viable solution without their either sending me the brand/color specs on the stain they use or a can of stain. Not something they could do. They told me that a replacement table top was not available, but escalated my case and someone else contacted me to let me know a new table top was being shipped to me. They remained engaged, sending me updates on the shipment, which was one of the good parts of this experience.I received the replacement table top. It was the complete upper assembly, not just the table top itself, so I had to disassemble it to harvest the new table top. I wish I could say it resolved the problem. It really didn't. The replacement was also in not good shape. Although it did not have scratches on the surface, it has numerous dents and a planer blemish. The finish looks the same, I suspect it will perform the same as the original.So, in summary, I would still avoid buying this table. The wood it is made from is much too soft for this purpose. It dents and scratches very easily and will not stand up to normal use. I expect I will need to either refinish or replace it in a year or two.

Stylish and functional addition to any living space. Assembly is straightforward, and the materials feel durable for everyday use. Great value for the price.

Really like the look of this coffee table. It comes with two drawers and 4 nobs. You would use the extra nobs on the other side of the table to mimic the same look on both sides. If the color is important to you, you might be disappointed because mine came in a lot lighter than what it looks on the posting (see attached pic). It looks like a walnut finish rather than a distressed-grey. You should definitely look at it from different devices to be sure. As for durability, the made materials look like a combination of soft MDFs and pine (??) It is definitely not scratch resistant. So be warned, do not try to over-tighten any screws.
