Rosewood Bench (China)

The bench is fairly easy to assemble and the rosewood top and legs very pretty, although the pre-drilled holes didn't line up and I had to drill new ones to fit the decorative piece on one side. For the money, the overall appearance is good and the size is very nice. I use mine as a coffee table and wanted something slender, and its proportions are perfect. The description fails to mention that the decorative "wings" beneath are plastic, and that because they do not fit perfectly and light can be seen at the seams, the appearance iof one solid piece is flawed. Having said that, I'm still pleased with the item and glad I bought it.

I've been looking for a table narrow enough to fit in my entrance. The size was perfect, but was not as substantial as I would have hoped for the price. We had an issue with one part not fitting. Nothing a rubber mallot and wood glue couldn't fix. Even with the little issue it was extremely easy to assemble. We completed it in less than 15 minutes. The shipping was faster than I thought and it arrived in perfect condition. Even though I don't think the quality and workmanship is worth the price, I gave it four stars for the service and because I do love the way it looks.

For the money it was not a bargain. I've seen better quality merchandise at discount stores. The detail pieces were difficult to put on and never fit properly.

The good points: it was shipped very quickly, was packaged very well, and assembled very easily and quickly, but one board did crack when I screwed it together. The crack is not noticable so its no big problem. I am just disappointed in the whole value of the table. I don't think it is worth the price I paid. If I had seen this in person in a store at this price I would not have bought it.
