My apartment is only about 300 ft. sq., even though the landlord claims it is 500, however 200 sq. ft. of that are taken up by a front door stair well, a storage area outside at the back and a cement walkway out back. It is very cozy but anywhere you need to put something the wall is missing or filled with the window or doors. Very poorly designed lol. Anyway my chair sits against a wall with 2 doors, one on either side. So I needed something about a ft. sq. to put my stereo, phone and speakers on. I wanted to do this without breaking the budget I have, and these serve the purpose perfectly. It did come in a damaged box, and has some scuffs and dents, but I am pretty sure that happened in the warehouse while it was being boxed, and Amazon was very accommodating resolving my issue, which was on the warehouse end.
The speakers fit perfectly between the caps covers on the top shelf, and the stereo itself is almost snug in the bottom shelf, it has about 2 inches clearance, only downside to this, is that I will no longer be able to put my mp3 player on top, so I can play through the stereo, however the stereo can also play from a USB drive, so I have that covered, or I can put the speakers on bottom shelf. I was almost able to fit the phone in the middle one but I needed about another 3 inches, oh well. I put some CD's there that I will play, instead, and moved the phone to the top shelf, problem solved.
These are not very sturdy, in the sense that you should not put too much weight on them, or try to move them while objects are on them. They have plastic legs, and my guess is that the could break from stress caused by doing so. But they are solid at the same time, just using common sense, and not trying to move them while loaded down, solves that issue, I hope I remember my logic when I need to move them LOL. I wonder how much more it would cost the company to make the legs squared off, that would make it more solid in my opinion.
I like the fact that you can try different top colors. The ones I chose came with white legs, but the shelves are white on one side and black on the other, I am not sure what I am going to do with the other one, match, or go for opposite, but I have white on bottom and top, and black in the middle. Fully assemble they look awesome, and the shelves themselves are pretty darn solid.
I looked everywhere, and I could not find anything in that size range. And believe me, I searched, and to find something a perfect length, width and height was awesome. I would say the price is pretty decent because the wood is a composite and the legs made from PVC tubing. I have no complaints with the this, it is a pretty solid little unit.
I give this a 5 star rating because is is inexpensive compared to other end tables, a piece of cake to assemble, and looks good. I would buy again if I needed another for sure. I only gave it a 4 star on sturdy, because if you are not super careful you could protentional break a leg, and I want to make people aware of this, so they can get a lifetime of usage out of them. I cannot find my camera, but if I do, I will update with photos.
