Winsome Eugene Accent Table, 18.9 inches, Espresso

I'm not particularly handy, but the instructions were clear and the night stands went together well.Not heavy duty, but sturdy enough to do the job.Drawer slides well and the magnetic door stays shut.Decent hardware.Good for the money.

This nightstand is good for someone that is looking for a simple and affordable option. It is quite a decent nightstand that does its job but does not exceed expectations. First off, the materials are not made up of the finest pieces of wood. The pieces are quite thin and seem fragile. When I was assembling it, I was afraid of being too rough with them and accidentally breaking them. The piece of wood that goes in, as the front of the drawer, seemed as if it was peeling and deteriorating in the bottom corners. This was very concerning when I first began the assembly process, especially since that was a piece that would always be exposed. Luckily, after fully assembling the stand, I realized that the peeling parts weren’t too noticeable. On the other hand, the assembly was not too difficult. I had to stop halfway through the assembly and then continued it a few hours later and I was able to pick it back up easily. The only complaint I have about the assembly is that none of the parts were labeled. This sometimes made the assembly confusing and bothersome. Some parts do seem similar, but they can sometimes be different sizes or just different parts altogether. I managed to assemble different parts of the nightstand incorrectly which became frustrating. However, those problems could easily be fixed by labeling the components of the nightstand. So far, the nightstand has held up well. Once fully assembled, it is quite sturdy. I have placed a multitude of items on it and it has not shown any signs of giving out. It has not received any scratches or signs of damage at all. I have younger siblings that have spilled liquids on it and I was able to wipe everything off without any problems. No matter what material they have poured on the nightstand, it has not received any permanent damage. It is impossible to notice that anything has been poured on it once it has been cleaned up. For the two months that I’ve had it, it has held up well and I haven’t encountered any major issues with it. Initially, the drawer and the cabinet both initially gave me a concern. Once the drawer is fully pulled out, it begins to sag. This is one of the flaws that the nightstand has and one of the places where it is evident that some corners were cut. It is not a big deal to me as I rarely ever must pull out the drawer completely, but it is noticeable that the drawer is not well made. Nonetheless, the drawer houses whatever I need without any concern of it not holding up. On the other hand, the piece of wood holding up the items stored in the cabinet could be concerning. Most of the pieces of wood had a place where you would squeeze it into and then secure it with a screw, that is not true for the bottom piece. It is a very thin piece of wood and is not secured in any way, besides sitting on top of the inner edges of the frame of the nightstand.To me it is not a big deal as it only stores my video games and movies. However, I would not recommend storing anything heavy within there as it is difficult to guarantee that the thin piece of wood would be able to hold it. To reiterate, do NOT store your favorite bowling ball in the cabinet. The Winsome accent table is a good bargain. Although not the highest quality, it gets the job done and does not cause any problems. At this price range there is not much more that one could ask for. It is not heavy duty, but it should not be expected to be. Regardless of its more budget-friendly materials, it still makes for a great looking nightstand that should last for a fair amount of time.

I have purchased 4 of these tables, and am completely happy with them for the price paid.Really, I consider them a total steal.I bought a pair of the dark brown/black/espresso colored ones about a year and a half ago to serve as end tables by the couch in my living room.They look nice, and we have had no issues with quality or functionality, so when it was recently decided that new nightstands were needed by a bed, a pair of white tables were ordered.In both locations, we wanted decent looking but didn’t want to spend hundreds of dollars each.End tables and night stands at real furniture stores easily reached up in to the hundreds of dollars per unit range, so we decided to expand our search.We checked the more “quirky” and discount-oriented home goods stores and, to be frank, the offerings looked like junk. There is a Big Blue Emporium Of Swedish-Designed Goods And Meatballs (you know what place I’m talking about) located in our town, so we checked there.We found something acceptable looking and reasonably priced, but still there was a nagging doubt.“Let’s check Amazon” we thought.And so we did. And here we are.All 4 tables arrived in fine flat-pack condition.Nothing was dinged or damaged, no missing pieces, nothing troubling to report. All pieces are made of real wood, not fiberboard or particle board or cardboard, like products from that other place we had considered.The benefit of having real wood is that it glues up nice, and if you have any scratches, it’s relatively easy to repair.The directions are simple, but sensible and easy to follow.With this sort of furniture, I always glue pieces together in addition to the screws just to add a bit of strength to the whole thing.Everything went together fine, and fit properly.The door was already assembled within the face frame, so no adjustment or fitting was needed.As for colors/ finishes:We are very happy with the coloring and quality of finish of these.The espresso color is a very deep brown/black that is evenly applied over the whole unit, no “splotchiness”.These tables, despite our best efforts to prevent it, regularly get drinks placed on them without coasters, and there are spills, and we have yet to see any rings or other defect appear in the surface finish.The white tables are a smooth flat-ish white paint (which is what we wanted), not a stained white-wash.I had one spot (about the size of a paper clip) on one of the white tables where the finish was a little marred.It wasn’t a scratch or damage, it just looked like the paint hadn’t been applied quite right.I had some paint on hand that matched just right, and a light touch-up made it disappear.I’ve only got a couple of things that I would list as “cons” though they aren’t deal-breakers, nor are they enough of a problem to cause me to lower my rating.I mean, let’s be real and recognize that when you’re only spending fifty dollars for a piece of furniture to be delivered to your house, it’s probably not going to have the same quality as a piece that is hundreds of dollars more expensive. You should know going in to the deal that you’re making a compromise somewhere.Anyhow, my “cons”:-The bottom of the unit is a thin piece of plywood that is simply laid on the frame.It is not fastened in place, and it “floats” around a bit. Also, it doesn’t strike me as overly-sturdy.It’s not like you’re going to keep your barbells or encyclopedias in there, but it’s a weaker part of the construction that I thought would be helpful to point out to people.If I were worried about it, it could easily be glued/nailed into place, but I haven’t found a practical issue with it.-The door’s orientation isn’t easily switched.If you want to switch it so that the hinges are on the left instead of the right, you are going to have to do a little wood-work, it’s not a simple flip-flop.This may be a deal-breaker for some people, but it hasn’t really bothered me in use.Again, I thought it would be helpful to point this out to people.At the end of the day, I can say that I am very happy with these units. I’ve had them long enough that I think I’ve given them a decent real-world trial, and they are something I would buy again (and I have!), and recommend to others.
