Convenience Concepts American Heritage Chairside End Table with Drawer 23.5" - Classic Living Room Table with Storage Shelf, Bedroom Nightstand, Natural

I've purchased and assembled a lot of "do it yourself" furniture from Amazon in the past three years. Simpli-Home, Winsome Wood, and Leick to name a few. Some were good, some were so-so. Convenience Concepts is by far the worst in both construction and appearance.Assembly is simple as long as you take notice that the rough side of the side rails goes up and the finished side down. This is not mentioned in the instructions but I got lucky and caught it in the picture or I would have been nearly finished and ready to fasten down the top only to have to take it all apart again. The only real wood is the legs. The MDF is very soft which makes installing the cambolts a bit of a guessing game. Screw them in too far and the camlock can't grab it and I believe you could screw them in forever. To avoid problems with the drawer possibly sticking to the side they just cut the drawer front about a half inch narrower than the opening. This leaves at least a quarter inch gap on each side. The finish quite frankly sucks. One leg looks like some solvent was spilled on it when staining so there's this plain old bare wood streak on the front.Unless the width and length is critical to you I'd go with a different brand. I've been very impressed with Simpli Home.

The media could not be loaded.  Def cute. Had my son build it because I’m useless at that. Took him roughly about 30 min. Few defects on wood but I’m not a picky Nicky. I still think it looks great.

I ordered two. One for each side of my loveseat. They shipped quickly, were packaged VERY well and easy to put together. They are packed in a bunch of styrofoam so have a cloth and some canned air handy to clean the pieces as you put it together. The dimensions listed are exact (which I needed) and they fit perfectly in my space. I mainly chose these because of their 11" width. I scoured the Internet and couldn't find any other side table this narrow. The drawer is pretty small, but it holds my remotes and glasses perfectly. Jet black in color with a very slight shine.

I am pretty happy with this side table. The material is a notch above IKEA's and most other pre-packed furniture suppliers.Pieces came partially pre-built (i.e. drawer railings, front and side panels) and building was a breeze with the provided instructions.The drawer (though super short) took 5 seconds to install. Overall the building was painless and much easier than what I am used to with IKEA products. In a nutshell:PROS:- Good quality, solid material (don't expect showroom quality, consider the $50-$60 range)- Very easy to build- Stylish and well finished- Very clear instructionsCONS- The drawer ends at half the length of the top. Could have been made longer for more storage

Bought 2 of these. Both boxes were complete with all parts and instructions well packaged. I had some small styrofoam pieces to wipe off but wood parts are wrapped in thin foam with edges protected by solid styrofoam so I did not have the styrofoam fragment problems some people have reported. The package also came with a tube of glue for the dowels and a touch up crayon. These are your typical IKEA-esk DIY assembly furniture which has a Allen key but you will also need a screw drive. I did a dry assembly without the dowels and glue (and not attaching the middle shelf or the top). I had to re-do the first one as the instructions do not point out the specific directionality of the side pieces (rough side goes up). The wood pieces are labelled alphabetically and I guess they assume that you know that the sides with the label point down or to the inside. I can see how people who reported not receiving the instructions would have a few problems in assembly as I had the instructions and still had a problem. The only damage is a small dent on the front of one leg, which is unfortunately at the front of the upper leg near the drawer. I decided not to send this one back as you have to be close to see this dent and I think that I can steam out part of the dent and then use the touch up crayon to mask the pale wood around the dent. The two tables that I received in espresso are also fairly close in stain color so I do not want to chance getting a second table that could have a different color variation. These tables are not as dark brown as what I would have liked but the 3-tier design in a narrow table is what I needed so I'll look beyond this minor color issue For the price, these are a nice looking side table and if you read the instructions and do the assembly carefully these are no worse than any other DIY assembly furniture.

Love it! I needed an end table that somewhat matched an existing TV Stand. The color is a beautiful brown but not espresso if that's what you're looking for. The drawer fits a couple remotes. I'm very pleased with the purchase! Assembly was easy, directions easy to follow.

Still haven't been able to put this together. The cam fittings are so cheap...3 broke trying to get the first bolt/fitting in place. Had a carpenter try, thinking that I was not lining up the bolts right - he broke the cam fitting too. Have gone back onto Amazon to order more fittings and bolts, hoping that will help. Glue by itself is not an option, as large holes have been drilled into the wooden parts. The bolts don't get screwed in all the way, like you would expect...you have to play with them to get them to line up with the cam fittings. Then the fittings keep snapping. Wish me luck with the new ones when they arrive. Based on the problems "right out of the box", I would never order from this company again. Product may look nice but it's not worth the trouble.

I was looking for a small white bedside with drawer this one fits perfectly. Easy to put together took me 35 mins to do. Nice hardware included even has a white touch up stick for any flaws.

I paid a stupid amount of money for this thinking “you get what you pay for”. I couldn’t have been more wrong.First, they mislead you into thinking is an American company. No Way. It comes straight from China, obviously from one of the worst production facilities there. The wood is soft and cheap. Mine came with damaged pieces. The finish is laughable. It’s beyond ugly. The hardware fits loosely, the finished product after assembly is wobbly and awfully cheap looking. I was so disgusted I immediately took it apart to return it. Amazon should never list such garbage, they really need to vet the products and vendors they facilitate a lot better. I was so disappointed..I honestly can’t believe anyone would even try to sell such a thing. I should note that I have bought many “made in China” items and found a good proportion of them to be decently crafted. But this is one company to avoid at all costs. What I received was pure junk.

This is an okay end table. It's small, which was perfect for our space, and the shelves underneath are very useful. Unfortunately, the finish on the piece is not of good quality. We have barely used our two end tables, and always carefully use coasters to protect the finish, but the top surface already has scratches, and letting water touch it for any length of time leaves blemishes behind. The end tables came with a repair stick to cover up the scratches, which should have warned me that the item is of poor quality. We have had to use it multiple times already, and the colour of the stick doesn't match the end table's colour at all!! Knowing what I know now, I would not have purchased these tables. They were terribly overpriced, considering the poor quality and the fact that they require full assembly.

The table was what I expected. Seems sturdy enough and putting it togther has been a chalenge. It was was previously return. When I tried to assemble it I didn’t notice there was two set of screws one set was 1/4 inch longer. Once I realize what was going on I used all the shorter screws. I was left with 12 longer screws. Lost half an hour before I figured it out.I Ordered pair of those. I hope the other table will assemble easier.

The front leg support was glued on upside-down, so bolting it in required carving a bigger groove to fit the bolt-head in the way it needed to. I considered keeping it anyway to save the hassle of returning, and because the size was desirable, but the overall quality felt very cheap for the price.The camlocks only turn by one-quarter, and nothing really stops them from slipping back and falling out. That's after you can screw them at all; the cambolts are slightly short for the holes they screw into, so if you screw them so they're flush with the wood, the camlocks won't turn. Even after getting it all perfect, locking in all the camlocks just right, and putting it all together, they still slipped around and even fell out of the finished product when moving it around.The rails that keep the drawer in place are the flimsiest plastic I've ever seen for this use, as is the stopper that keeps the drawer from falling out. Another minor point is that the stickers that mark the parts tear off very poorly.The wood would be ok if the table was half the price it was, and besides the knob, it's the best part of the product. Giving it 2 out of 5 because the size is nice and it looks all right from a distance. I would have put up with a lot for this one, but it's just terrible.

Fast shipping. The table was what I expected for the price. Seems sturdy enough and putting it togther has been simple. I found the directions easy to understand. However when I went to put it together the holes for the bottom shelf didn't line up. Will need to file the wood to get it to fit. I think this was just a one off.
