Coaster Home FurnishingsAlyssa Accent Table Brown and Burnished Copper

I bought two of these 7 years ago and I still love them. The best feature is the small raised edge around the top surface. You can push a coaster into the corner and it will stay put. Your chapstick won't fall on the floor. Do dads and remote controls, the possibilities are endless! But seriously, that is the best feature. Most little tables like this have just a flat top and aren't nearly as useful.

I'm glad I ordered two of these tables. I was the only one putting the tables together, but if I had had another warm body, the process would have gone much more smoothly. The second table was much easier to put together, and overall, I'm pleased with these tables, but still feel I paid too much for them.If you see the tables at first glance, they are "cute" and look fairly sophisticated, but upon closer inspection, the only true solid pieces are the bottom and back panel. The top of the table would probably not last too long without a coaster or a piece of glass cut to fit the top of the table, but in my case, the room is used very little, and the tables are the right height, and it's good for having a drink handy or for the remote.In assembling these tables, please do the following: Look at the picture of the assembled table on the instruction sheet. Observe the pattern of the back panel, making sure yours is in the same configuration.Look at your included item sheet, making sure everything is there. Look at the diagram, making sure you use the right screws for the right piece.Now you are ready to assemble the table with the included allen wrench. It took me a little time to assemble the first table and adjust and tighten the screws so that the table was sitting level and was stable. It was a little frustrating for me because I sometimes have a hard time with small screws going into small holes. By the time the first table was completed (about an hour), I was a little shaky, and was as "nervous as a whore in Sunday School"The second table was quickly assembled after trial and error with the first one. If you buy this table, and if you're a mild basket case or lousy handy man, do the following to make the assembly stress free:1. Look at the picture of the table.2. As you begin to attach the sections together, HAND tighten them loosely, The decorative arches were a little tricky to install on the first table, but if you insert a screw loosely in one end of the metal arch, screwing in the other side is easy as you can line up the screw to the hole evenly.3. With the table loosely assembled, begin to hand tighten from the bottom and work your way up. I found that when my screws were in tightly, the table top was not completely levelOnce the table is put together, stand back and observe and enjoy the fact that you did it yourself. After that, grab a nice shower and a klonipin or two, and call it a night.

This table is beautiful and sturdy! It is exactly what I needed for a small table on the non-end table side of my couch/chaise. The quality is outstanding!

We have two of these tables in our den, and we use them quite regularly for snacks and drinks. They are still holding up well after a year!Pros:-Has a contemporary look that we like.-Pretty compact but still very usable.-Flat surface with a lip around the entire edge -- thus preventing glasses from easily slipping off the top (or spills from easily reaching floor).Cons:-They are sometimes a bit wobbly. This is, to some extent, true of this type of table. We also have a very loveable large dog who kind of ignores these tables (and often runs into them -- which she does with no other furniture). The dog's tail also knocks things off these tables. If the dog is walking by, we hold onto our glasses. But if you don't have a large goofy dog, this shouldn't be a problem.-One of the thin wire bars, which span the base of the table, broke. I think it was accidentally stepped on when someone was getting up (and trying to move the table out at the same time). While this was not a factory defect (but rather the fault of the one who stepped on it), we didn't expect it would break that easily.

I was looking for a compact end table to use next to my recliner, something very simple. This fit the bill perfectly! The assembly process was very quick. It took a minor bit of "futzing" to get all the parts assembled square and level, no different than any other metal furniture of this type. The key to it, is put all the screws in loosely at first - then set the table upright, and start tightening from the bottom up. Keep in mind that as you tighten, corners will tend to open up - so you want them to be a little acute at first (e.g. angles smaller than 90 degrees) and as you tighten it'll become square. Took just a bit of time & patience.Things I particularly like - leveling feet on the bottom. Nice fairly dark copper finish. Assembled easily enough. Looks great in my living room.Things I don't like - top appears to be pretty thin typical veneer pressboard. Be sure to use a coaster to prevent top finish from blistering from moisture. I may lacquer it just as a precaution but so far it looks fine.It's intended for use on a couch with the bottom slid underneath, I tried it and it's actually pretty handy for that - I may get a couple more.

The table looks nice, it is made of metal, with a laminated wood top. The assembly was not flawless, because the curved braces were not curved enough, or all the same. I didn't downgrade it any stars though, because it is easily fixed by just screwing them in to bend them a little more. The feet are nylon and slide well on laminate flooring, but if you have carpets, you'll have to pick it up to move it. There is a lip around the edge of the table top, and the area inside of that lip measures 14 7/8 x 7 7/8 inch, which is great for a remote (or a few), and a coaster, and some space for a snack; you're not going to be using this as TV dinner tray though. The distance from the floor to the bottom of the table is 22 1/4 inch, and the distance from the floor to the top of the bottom piece is just under 1 inch (the space you need under your couch). This is not including the curved braces which attach at the top and bottom joints. These braces leave about 9 inches of unobstructed table length that can be overlapping the couch (unless you have high couches that you can get the brace under).

I really like the table! I use it to serve treats; place flowers on!

This is a very sturdy and attractive little side table. Would buy it again.

Love these tables. We have a small living room and these tables work perfectly. Light enough to move around yet sturdy. Decoratively the fit nicely as well.

Parfait et très solide très bonne qualité
