Winsome Wood Sally Kitchen, Antique Walnut, FURNITURE

This table is the perfect size to serve as an island in my kitchen. It is counter height and quite sturdy, and is a close enough match to my dark knotty pine cabinets to look very nice. I've used it as extra counter space when baking etc., and as a serving table for drinks and hors d'oeuvres when I have guests. Everyone likes to gather in the kitchen and this makes it possible. The drawers are handy storage for things like the shopping list, matches and toothpicks. My only complaint is that the table arrived with several scratches on the top, and that it continues to scratch quite easily. For now, I've colored the scratches with a brown Sharpie and they're virtually invisible unless you're looking for them. Also I always put a trivet or towel on the surface for hot items, since the top is essentially bare wood. I hope to purchase a protective tabletop at some point.

Ok, $95 bucks, what do you expect? It came out of the box with no scratches, etc. As usual, with these assemble it yourself, I use a strong glue, such as Liquid Nails, for the dowels and where the legs meet the table when I screw them together.. to avoid wobbliness, which is inevitable unless you use the glue (and they don't tell you about that). I find wood glue does not adhere well to the finish. Oh, I did have to re-drill one hole where the component would not go it..I was looking for a small testing desk for my office that matched my Cherry furniture. I took a chance on this as it was described as Walnut, but it does match the Cherry... same color. I knew before buying it that I would have to cut off about 4 inches from each leg, since it is the height of a kitchen island, and we needed desk height. The support rails were a good 6 inches off the ground, so we could easily cut the legs without interfering with assembling the rails.The drawer is a little flimsy, and I didn't do anything to reinforce it... just have to realize not to use it much or put heavy things in it. As long as you are willing to do a little reinforcement, this type of furniture looks great for the price The finish is nice and the top is solid. It does have some normal grain texture... good to know, but still works well for testing, etc.In sum, nice little table, and you need the following to build it (in my opinion): Phillips head screw driver, Strong Glue like Liquid Nails (not wood glue), a drill with large bits just in case, and an allen wrench bit is helpful if you don't want to screw the long screws in by hand with the tiny wrench they provide.

Update on August 9, 2021:I finally turned my table into an awesome kitchen island with two stools. I bought a larger butcher block table top and just placed it on top. The weight of the wood block alone keeps it very sturdily on top of the table without moving at all. We love our “new” kitchen island so much that we eat on it more often than in the dining table, we even sit there just to chat or to read.Original review on December 7, 2016:Great piece of furniture! I haven't decided what it is going to be. I bought it as a kitchen island (what it is advertised as), but after I assembled it, I put my laptop on it to check my email for a second, and it's been a desk ever since. I do plan to use it eventually as a kitchen table/island with 2 stools that I can tuck under. The table "body" is made of solid wood. The drawers are made of wood and veneers. I love the color and the gloss on the finish. It feels sturdy and looks like I spent a lot more money on it.Assembly was straight forward. I am a small woman, and it took me like 35 minutes to put it together while watching a TV show. All I used was a Phillips screw driver, an Allen wrench that comes in the package, and pliers to hold the wrench while tightening the socket cap screws (I googled all the tool names :)

Received the table with broken and missing pieces. The instructions where not very clear on putting it together and if I had the some of the missing screws I could had matched them up with others at the local hardware store. For the price, the quality is ok and looks as though it would had been perfect for what I needed, if it just would had stood up with out falling apart.I returned it 4 weeks ago and I am still waiting a refund from Amazon.

The piece fit together nicely, with only one hole not drilled out enough. The strecher arm (that's the piece that connects the 2 bottom supports) arrived broken. I contacted the manufacturer and within 10 days we had the replacement piece. We have laminate flooring and the table rocked so I put furniture pads on the feet and it stopped rocking. We are using it as a sofa table, so it mainly just sits there with a lamp and flowers on it.

How long is it?.....39 inchesHow wide?.....20 inchesHow high?...33 inches.Assembly time?....30 minutesTruth be told i was expecting a rather flimsy piece of work for the price that i paid. This table is surprisingly sturdy .... it is made from real wood. Even if you have two left thumbs you should be able to put this table together with relative ease. The only "expertise" you need here is the ability to line things up and tighten bolts. I have a small kitchen so this works perfectly as a dining table but i can see how it could be used for other purposes. You can use it as a dining table or a small office desk.If you are seeking an unobtrusive computer/laptop desk, this might be the table for you since it takes very little space. My only complaint is that the drawers are not very well put together(problem can be remedied with wood glue), and the bottom of the drawers is a little flimsy. For $95 this table more than delivers.

This is an okay piece of furniture for the money. It's really small; two people can't comfortably sit down at once. It was easy to put together, though, and looks good.

Easy to assemble, looks good, sturdy but not good for 4 people,2 barstools don’t fit in a side, I should have bought something over 45” wide. but I liked it and using it with one stool as a mail center. Easily scratches off finish, have to touch up paint.
