Could Have Been Better
I love the concept for this table, but I wish they manufactured this piece as well as they made the Reprouve coffee table. When all the pieces are put together there are gaps near the center of the tabletop -- not so with the coffee table. Also, the hardware provided with the side table isn't as user friendly as that of the coffee table.

Perfect for my laptop
I was looking for a small table to go next to my Womb Chair to rest a drink on or park my laptop. Scale was important and I needed something "small". Most everything else I found that was "cool" and of similar size was in the 200 - 350 USD range.
For the price I expected something light weight and maybe kind of flimsy. This table is actually well made and HEAVY for its size. It is sturdy and the steel portions are actually very thick.
Assembly required a little care and I used my own tools (there are tools included) so I could be more careful not to scratch the white painted underside of the steel inserts. If you loosely assemble all the bolts per the instructions you can get all the pieces to line up nicely before tightening.
The painted steel was perfectly finished and well wrapped. The legs were also well protected and on the face sides were perfect. the only little quibble I had was that on the edges of the legs there were areas where voids had naturally occurred in the plywood and needed to be filled. While the voids are expected a little more care could have been taken in attempting to mask them. The color of the fill is a little off making those small spots kind of obvious. The finishing of the plywood legs overall was very good and smooth, with no rough spots or splintering to be seen or felt.
I would recommend this table to anyone. Looked at Kartell, Misewell, and Elemental Living, but chose this. I am not disappointed in any way and hope to use it for many years to come.
