Crown Mark Pierce Chairside Table, Espresso

⭐️ Update! ⭐️ It’s now 2024. I still have this table, and it’s still rock solid! The top is marred and scratched from general use, kids, moving… but honestly, I kinda like the more “lived in” feel of it now. The lower shelf and legs are much less worn than the top of the table. Zero wobble, zero issues; I’ve never had to tighten any hardware. I’m including two Update pictures to give a basic idea of what it looks like now. Note: I didn’t take the time to clean off/wipe down the table before snapping the pics, so what you see is exactly what it looks like on any given day after 11 YEARS (😮) of pets, kids, parties… life! — Original 2013 Review: — Title: Nice little side table at a GREAT price! EASY assembly! Possibly prone to smudging? I needed a side table to fit in the narrow space between my couch and the corner. This looked like a nice fit and the price was great and I'm very glad I purchased it. It arrived on time and was packaged very well in a small box. No scuffs, chips, or cracks in any of the pieces. It comes in pieces: top, 4 legs, bottom shelf, screws. It took maybe 5 minutes to put it together with a manual screwdriver. You just connect the legs to the top and then put the bottom shelf in and put the screws in from the bottom (this took a little elbow grease, but really you don't even need to put the screws in--the shelf sits snugly on the little ledges on the inside of the legs). It's tall and skinny and is really sturdy. My hefty 18-month old has crawled through on the bottom shelf several times and it shows no signs of stress or damage. You'll probably want to use coasters on the top, though. I put a cup directly on it and it seemed to smudge slightly from the condensation, but I'm not sure if it's permanent (Update: the smudged bits don't appear to have been permanent, though to be safe, I'm using coasters and wiping up any spilled liquid right away. Table still looks great!). Great price, nice product, SUPER easy assembly. It's obviously not a $200 table and probably isn't all real wood, but it looks seriously good for the thirty-something dollars I paid. I'd recommend this to anyone on a budget.

I'm a former cabinetmaker. Needed a small table and can no longer design, fabricate, assemble, finish myself. Well packaged. The finish was flawless. Very sturdy. Easy to assemble. Great fit of the factory assembled parts and the customer assembled parts. No off-gassing. I highly recommend. Notes: * When assembling use the box to hold up the lower panel, as shown in another person's review. * The nylon feet bumpers are prone to come loose. One fell out during assembly. These have a long, sharp nail imbedded in them, which are driven into the table leg. It would be nasty to step on one of these now, or 5 years from now, if it fell out. I suggest you use an appropriate adhesive for nylon to glue these to the leg, or remove these and replace with self adhesive bumper feet. Or, if the table will be on carpet, simply pry then out, nail and all, and save or discard. * The legs are secured to the table top using the supplied machine thread screws, which screw into metal threaded inserts that are in the legs. As you tighten the screws with the supplied hex wrench, be aware that you might feel and/or hear a small slippage or squeal. This is normal for threaded inserts. Just keep tightening until firm. Don't strip it. * Install 3 legs "for keeps", and keep one loose for the moment. This will give you the wiggle room to get the lower panel into place. Once in place tighten the 4th leg. * Doh! I almost put the bottom panel in wrong. First of all, keep in mind that the finished side of the button panel should face upwards when the table is in use. Second, place the bottom panel on the side of the corner brackets so that, when in use, the panel will rest upon the brackets, and not be underneath them. I almost screwed the panel in place from the wrong side! My bad. * Every few years, or if a shake develops, snug up the 4 machine thread screws with the hex wrench. This is normal for even a $400 end table :) This is a well made table

This is a very nice table. However, it is even better after some customization (see photos). The table was delivered in perfect condition (not a scratch on it), and it took all of 10 minutes to assemble. I added a couple of large cup holders and a USB/Outlet panel myself. I have a habit of knocking over drinks, so the cup holders really help to prevent that. The table is sturdy, but be careful during assembly. If you over-tighten the leg mounting bolts it will pull out the wood blocks with the steel threaded inserts. The blocks are only held in place with 4 to 6 brad nails and no glue. I had read previous reviews complaining of this issue, and figured it was from over-tightening the bolts, so I was able to avoid this. I also added a couple of finishing nails to each wood block for extra support. Also, the lower shelf is easy to attach if you lay the table on its side, and use your hand as a clamp around the leg and shelf, and push the wood screws in while turning. Once again, do not over-tighten these screws, as this table is made of soft wood and particle board. The cup holders and USB/Outlet panel are easy to install, after cutting out the holes with a couple of hole saws. Overall, this is a very sturdy and nice looking table for the money. I just needed it to be a little more "useful," so I customized it. The table is also very easy to assemble. However, I highly recommend putting away the drill or impact driver and using old-fashioned hand tools, so you don't strip-out, or over-tighten, any of the screws or bolts (everyone is in such a hurry to get things done these days). The manufacturer even supplies an Allen Wrench for the leg bolts. Overall, I highly recommend this table, especially after the "upgrades." Just take your time assembling it and everything will be fine.

Very impressed with this purchase! It was really easy to put together and it’s very sturdy. Well worth what I paid. It matches my coffee and end tables perfectly and it looks great with my sofa set. Much cheaper than other side tables I looked at and I’m so glad I found this! It’s exactly what I was looking for! I was a bit worried after reading the negative reviews but it arrived fast, in excellent condition and is perfect!

La mesa está muy bien, es fácil de armar y queda muy sólida, con sensación de resistencia. La compre para poner el gabinete de mi computadora en la parte de abajo y cupo a la perfección, además de que le daba un realce muy bueno al asunto. Desafortunadamente tuve que mudarme de emergencia y la devolví por que ya no iba a servirme para el propósito por el que la había adquirido.

Perfect size, really easy to put together, great buy!

Yo compre 2 mesitas para usarlas como buros, quedan muy fuertes y tienen un excelente acabado y apariencia, me llegaron muy bien empacadas, se arman en menos de 5 a 10 minutos, para armarlas es sumamente fácil, y para la repisa de la parte de abajo solo hay que poner la mesita con las patitas hacia arriba y detener y presionar la repisa a cada patita fuertemente ( lo hizo mi esposo con una sola mano ) y presionando un poco, con la otra mano puso los tornillos y entraron perfectamente, estoy mas que encantada con mi compra, planeo ponerles un cristal encima para mayor duración

I'm actually using it in the bathroom to cover a litter box (I did not install the bottom shelf of the table for this reason) because my cat won't use the litter boxes with the rooftop lids. This is a sort of compromise haha. It looks nice though and matches my dark brown cabinets pretty well. It's a cute little table and it was super easy to assemble. I reinforced the legs with a bit of wood glue, so it's not wobbly at all.
