DHP Rosewood Tall Coffee Table

Cute, simple table. Looks just like the pictures. The color might be just a very little bit darker than in the photos. But it goes well with the cherry surround on our gas fireplace.The drawer doesn't have guides, so expect some side-to-side motion. That's fine for me. We only store small things there. The knob pull had a solid feel and nice brushed nickel finish. It's too bad they didn't make the drawer a bit wider and deeper, because the piece of furniture does hsve room to accommodate that.It was well packed and arrived undamaged. Assembly was easy. The legs are sturdy.I'd like to see the manufacturer made the exact same table with a shelf mid-way of the legs. Then there would be s bit of extra space for a package or some shoes.This is a shallow hall table, which I like because the spot we have for it is small. So it's perfect for us.It would make a cute sofa table vehind a loveseat, or could even work well as a nightstand or very small computer desk for a netbook in a small bedroom or office.It's made of solid pine. No particle board. The polyurethane finish is holding up fine to our everyday use as a launching pad by the front door.Being solid wood, it could be refinished or painted if one had a decor change.

I just needed a little table behind the front door - a place to put my briefcase at the end of the day.This table is a perfect fit. It was easy to assemble - just bolt on the legs.It feels quite sturdy and . . . wait for it . . . the QUALITY is MUCH NICER than I anticipated.The table is a bargain and actually looks quite nice.

I got this because I needed to utilize a small wall space that was being wasted because it's where I put my cat's food & water. I needed something with taller legs & no bottom shelf where the cat bowls would comfortably fit underneath, and would also not leave just a blank white wall above them. This is perfect - cat bowls fit underneath, I have the top for pictures & colorful trinket boxes and no wasted wall space! Also, it couldn't have been any easier to assemble, I think it took me about 10 minutes - a real plus! And the hardware packaging is outstanding, every company should use the same system! Looks great, serves a need I have and is affordable; this was a very smart purchase on my part!

I purchased this table to place in a hallway. I had limited space -- it had to fit between two nearly adjacent doors, and it could not be too deep because of a pull-down ladder for attic access. This fits within what I needed, at almost 28 inches wide, almost 12 inches deep, and almost 28 inches high. I say 'almost' because all three dimensions are perhaps between 1/32 and 1/8 inch short of those measurements.The price was reasonable when I purchased it. A week in either direction, however, and the price was rather higher. I would suggest watching for a while if you are interested, and purchasing it when the price is lower.It looks good and feels reasonably sturdy when assembled. It appears to be made mostly of solid wood, not particleboard, pressboard, strandboard, or some other form of a compressed sawdust plus glue mix (the drawer bottom is the only piece that does not seem to be solid wood). The surface appears to be stained wood, rather than a cheap plastic (or worse, paper) veneer, but it does not seem to have any protective coating (just bare stained wood), so I would suggest not putting anything bearing liquids or that might tend to attract condensate on the table. I doubt it would ever be 'heirloom' quality, but I can see the table filling its function (standing in a hallway holding some small items) for a long time without problems.Because is is so tall (28 inches) but not very deep (12 inches), it is not the most stable place to put something. I would not recommend putting easily broken objects on top, especially in a house where it might get bumped or shaken. The manufacturer also seems to recommend keeping the load on the table (probably this includes the drawer contents) to less than 20 pounds (and I would not advise loading the drawer heavily). It feels like it could possibly hold more, but I think that between its short depth and the manufacturing tolerances, stability could be an issue.The packaging was good, with most parts wrapped individually, and the hardware pieces (screws, handle, slider) attached to a single card. The box was double-layered (the outside box and then another similar layer inside to protect the wood in case the outside box was damaged). The assembly went easily and quickly; the instructions were simple. On assembling the drawer, I would advise you to ensure the bottom piece is in place before you screw the sides to the front, since otherwise it is too easy for things to get out of alignment (plus it will make it easier to keep the drawer 'square').I took off one star because of some issues.One problem has to do with those measurement tolerances I mentioned earlier -- it seems like all of the tolerances allow 1/8 inch (or possibly a bit more) variance. For example, on mine, all but one leg had a gap between its top and the bottom of the upper surface, with one leg over 1/8 inch, two about 1/8, and the remaining leg backed almost flush to the surface. You can't see these gaps normally, but it felt like these large manufacturing tolerances were everywhere. I have it sitting on carpet, where it seems okay, but it clearly wobbles on a hard floor, so the legs really do come down different distances from the top (though they all might be the same length, the way they mount varied too much).Another issue has to do with how the parts are labelled. Normally, the stickers labelling parts are kind of like Post-It notes: they stay in place during shipping but come off easily during assembly. Unhappily, the stickers used on this seemed permanent. The stickers took considerable work to remove without damaging the finish, and even then left glue behind that required further surface cleaning. Since this was so much trouble (or could have left damage in clearly visible places if done poorly), I figured it was worth mentioning. It would be possible to move most of the poorly placed stickers to places where they would not be an issue (such as the top end of the legs), but some of the stickers would still be visible, so I think it would be better if they used a different glue on the stickers that label the parts.The drawer includes a slider that suspends the back of the drawer from an overhead rail (rather than having rails below the drawer to support it). However, I did not see any pads on the front of the unit where the bottom of the drawer will rest. A teflon pad on each side of the bottom of the opening would make it far more durable (so you could open and close the drawer and not wear into the wood); additional teflon pads on the sides would help keep the drawer straight and avoid jamming the slider. Thankfully, there is enough of a gap around the drawer that it will not be hard to add such pads using some self-stick teflon tape.If it had not been for these issues, I think it would have been five stars.

I bought 2 of these to use as side tables in my living room. The height is just about even with the arms of my couches which makes reaching them super easy. The assembly was fast and simple and they look great. My only gripe with this product is that the stickers used to label the parts are REALLY hard to remove and leave a gummy residue that requires WD-40 or something similar to remove. I highly recommend doing that before assembling the tables since it'll be easier to get to them and there are so few parts the stickers aren't even necessary. I mean, if you can't decipher the legs from the tabletop on your own, you probably shouldn't be trusted to feed yourself unsupervised never mind assembling furniture.The color is a lovely dark cherry and once assembled the tables are sturdy and level. Lots of quality for the price here!

it is not as sturdy as i thought it would be but it looks nice. You have to place it beside a wall or couch to keep it from falling over. Easy to put together
