Nest of Tables

We had a rather spindly table nest that we inherited from family. I don't want to be rude but they were hideous 60s horrors. But, we had to trot them out for drinkies when they visited. After many years of dreading the things coming out for use, they finally gave up the ghost and expired. My wife immediately shot online to find something better to replace them. I mean, nothing could possibly be that hideous nowadays, right? How wrong we were. Hideous is apparently the new "thing". Ah well, we found these, which are a pretty close match to the media cabinet and a couple small cabinets we have, so in the basket they went. I will say that once these were assembled, we were quite pleased with them. They are sturdy enough to sit on should the urge take you. They are stable with a nice flat and broad top that is perfect for snacks, coffees or drinks, or just as an occasional table. Luckily they met with the approval of the donor of our previous set so no need to make lengthy explanations. Very easy to assemble. The black button in the image is an optional extra, it is not fitted to the legs. You have to do that. It's a metal plate with a pin sticking out of the back that you hammer into the table leg. We decided to leave that bit out and the tables don't suffer from their lack. Well made, comfortable design, good quality and solid. What more can you ask for in this day and age? Money well spent. Delivery was quick, and they arrived in perfect condition. Even the packaging hadn't been damaged, and that is almost unheard of in our neck of the woods.

This is a really lovely table it took me a while to build not through any fault - but because I have osteoarthritis but I was determined I was going to do it & following the instructions was easy - I did it & it looks lovely - very sturdy but also very nice looking

Ok these are amazing for the price, let’s get that straight. First the bad; one or two of the screws don’t bite and you have to maybe use one of your own thicker screws to pull those bits together. Also, I ordered two tables and while one was very good the other was a bit screwy on the front piece. The decorative pieces to the left and right of the drawers were far from central and skewed right to one edge. For the price though I really couldn’t be bothered returning it so I just positioned that side so it was less visible. Now the good; chunky and decent looking furniture for the price. Amazing value really and fairly sturdy using simple pocket holes for the simple screwed joints which are reinforced with unglued dowels. I had some Colron wood dye in Rosewood left over from some shelves so I stained the tops with three coats. I then finished them with a bit of Aldi furniture wax that cost about three quid that I had picked up for an indistinct future project. The tops looked amazing after that and far more expensive than their starting point. I then painted the table frames with one coat of rustoleum in anthracite that I had in the garage. They ended up looking pretty amazing given what the cost was. Couldn’t believe it all cost only around £100. I recommend them if you’re on a tight budget.

Great for the price, handy over Christmas

Atrocious quality. Big fan of the Corona range and have a lot of them in my home, bought over several years, but the quality of this coffee table is way below the usual standard. I had 4 replacements from Amazon and every time there has been a major defect... But if you get a good one, it's a nice table although nowhere near as robust as a solid oak/oak veneer one. It looks better if you give it a light varnish too (I'd go for light or medium oak with a light rub down of 0000 steel wool first) and change the handle. But... WATCH OUT... Corona furniture comes in different "grades" based on the price you pay/brand name you choose (see how some are Mercers, Seconique and Home Discount? Think that's all just the same table at differnt prices? So did I, but it isn't. The more you pay - Mews or Seconique - the higher grade construction and wood quality you get. Even the screws are thicker on the more expensive ones. The cheaper ones really are throwaway rubbish... If you have OCD you'll hate how the drawer doesn't line up either - the more expensive Corona ones do though). Why don't most people say that in reviews you're probably wondering? Bluntly, because most people are not skilled DIYers or craftspeople/carpenters etc - many people here haven't even built it right (I know what I'm talking about, and have built several of these and can now make them in under an hour. Pro tip: always add wood glue to the dowels and have a test run before you screw it together. Check the drawer carefully and assemble the whole unit in two halves). Hope that helps some of ya'll.

I’m quite good at putting things together but this table was dead easy for me. Just concentrate and be careful not to get side pieces the wrong way up. It says it’s a 2 man job yet I did on my own no problem very manageable. Make sure you count all screws before you start and have the correct amount of pieces. Took me an hour to do it but it’s best to take your time and have patience, value for money wise; its exceptional that’s why I had it and it matched my other furniture. Wax it up to bring out the grain of the wood and it looks brill 👍 looks twice the price once that’s done, it’s very sturdy and is easy to construct. I highly recommend this table it’s just what I wanted. It looks fantastic buy it if your pretty confident at flat pack furniture can’t go wrong.

Super belle table basse en bois brut. Facile à monter. Elle est légèrement plus foncée que sur la photo mais tant mieux,elle est encore plus belle en vrai. Livraison rapide et bien protégée.

Toller Tisch, sieht edel aus

Barato y gran resistencia

El producto es aun mas bonito en real que en foto.

Bella solida, dal profumo di legno. È relativamente semplice montarla, le istruzioni sono solo figurate e intuitive; armatevi però di un polso robusto e forzuto per avvitare le innumerevoli viti (l'avvitatore elettrico è vietato dalle istruzioni!) Inoltre fare attenzione ai vari passaggi. Comunque a me è arrivata oggi (ordinata ieri) ed è già pronta e collocata nello spazio che le avevo riservato. È molto carina, e poi, parliamoci chiaro, a 58 euro non avrei trovato nulla di migliore. L'imballo era perfetto, i vari pezzi a posto e integri e le viti e i tasselli della giusta quantità. È stato un buon acquisto, sono contenta e mi sento di consigliarlo!
