Sauder Beginnings End Table, Cinnamon Cherry finish

First of all, the assembly instructions are written in English by English speakers. They even include touches of humor. The pictures are helpful and the entire thing can be assembled without swearing even once. That's a miracle table right there.The table is painted particle board, but care was taken with the finish, the holes were neatly drilled, and the table looks fine when assembled. It's not fancy furniture but it's serviceable and looks presentable. The construction is solid and the table does not wobble.I needed a small table to hold our router, modem, and phone tower. It's perfectly sized for that. I have it sitting next to a tv stand in an espresso finish and the color difference is negligible. The whole area looks neater and more organized.For 20 bucks you are getting a solid value with this table.

So far, so good. We needed a little decorative table to hold my wife's phone, some books, and a small lamp next to the rocker in our nursery. I had trouble finding the right piece for a reasonable (low) price at many other retailers, but then I came across this one. It was easy enough to put together with a screwdriver; I didn't even have to get off the couch. I reinforced all the joints with wood glue as I built it.Now, certainly you have to have the right expectations for a piece like this. It's cheap fiber board with a thin veneer. I wouldn't dare get it wet, sit on it, put my feet on it, or expect it to last decades. But for the price, I think it looks good, the hardware was good, and it is the perfect solution for our table needs.

This is of course a very inexpensive side table, and it's not going to be an heirloom quality piece of furniture. However, I think it's an excellent value for the price. I purchased this as a second side table for my bedroom, and it fits the bill perfectly. It's just the right size and height to work as a side table. There's plenty of surface for a lamp, a book, whatever else you might put on a night stand. The cinnamon cherry color matches very well with my espresso headboard. I like the clean, simple lines of this table. It doesn't add any bulk or clutter to the room. It was just right for me.Assembling this table was mostly fairly easy. There are no tools included so please be aware you need at least a hammer and a Phillips screwdriver. I actually used a small drill with a Phillips head for most of the screws, as they are hard to do by hand if you aren't very strong. I also resorted to a flat head screwdriver for attaching the "hidden connectors" that hold the top on. That was really my only issue with assembly. The "hidden connectors" screw straight down (up?) into the top and are, as the name implies, hidden once connected. There is just not much room to get a screwdriver into the space to screw them in. I switched to a flat head, which helped, but I was not able to get them as tight as I'd like. I will have to retighten them later to get a better hold. However, the table is holding together fine as is; just not as tight as I'd like. The rest of the table was a breeze to assemble, and the instructions were fairly clear, especially if you've assembled this type of furniture before.My table did arrive with one little scratch on the surface, but it's barely noticeable once it's in the room. The finish is nice for this type of particle board furniture. It looks much, much more expensive than it was, for sure. I'm definitely happy with this purchase and would buy another of these tables if I had a need.

I bought this table to match my other tables. It was super easy to assemble, like 15 minutes. The color match is perfect, a deep, rich brown. It's sturdy enough for my large aloe vera plant. Great table!

Pretty good looking and not to hard to assemble, except the goofy quick connectors are quite awkward to get a screwdriver on (as complained about by other reviews) BUT the annoying factoid that the ad does not mention? The table is only rated to hold 25 pounds... a small lamp and a clock? no problem. a small potted plant? fine! A stack of 10+ books or a larger potted plant will exceed the 25 lbs limit.Pros - better than average kit furniture look, quick (if quirky) assembly, low cost.Cons - pretty short, and low weight capacity, incomplete description doesn't mention 25# capacity. AFTER about 1 month the wood film over the particle board is bubbling up - doesn't look so good.

I purchased this item for my daughter's new apartment in New York City. Not too expensive, but adequate for a first place and an inevitability of a few parties. I was, I have to admit, dreading the assembly. My experience with such items-to-be-assembled is that the parts never line up, if they do, the screws are too long or short, bits are often mislabeled or worse, with labels that require sandpaper to remove, and the instructions unintelligible. Typical of most items from China. I was pleasantly surprised with these end tables. The parts lined up perfectly, the materials adequate, the instructions clear and precise and the labels just peeled off. Terrific. I was so pleased that I had to look and see where it was made. Ohio! Bravo! and well done. Thank you

Great little table. It is a bit short but gets the job done. I like the look and style of it and feels very sturdy. My only complaint is that assembly took about 1 hour. There’s just so many screws and pieces. Other than that I would buy it again it adds a little flavor to the room.
