IKEA Side Table, White

The item's assembly is "idiot" proof. It does take a bit of screwing to get the legs in. If you calculate what shipping is from IKEA.com, you wind up paying the same, except it ships a lot slower than via Amazon Prime. True, it is just $8 at IKEA but I don't have a car so I need it shipped to me, and shipping via IKEA is very expensive! It costs much more than the item itself!It was easy to assemble, and took me about 15 minutes. It is also a very sturdy table. I would purchase this again!

Just what it says. Sturdy enough for my needs but I wouldn't put too much weight on it. Though I do love Ikea, the time it takes to get anything from there is usually too long for my liking. This purchase made it most convenient and it is still the quality I have become to love from Ikea. The package was in perfect condition and I had no problem putting this together in a few minutes with no tools and just a little elbow grease.

Purchased this to glue Lego baseplates to the top to create a small Lego table for my daughter. We decided on this size, because the Lego baseplates are 10" squares, so we could fit 4 on the top without having to cut them. And there's only about a 1/2 inch space on the side. The table is of good quality, and very light. It's also very very easy to assemble, just screw the legs into the table top.

Received small hole on top and because hollow core with pressed wood sides covered with a nice white veneer looks like it would damage easily. Decided to keep it and cover hole. Making a kotasu so top won't be seen much. I Cut legs 2" shorter on table saw very cleanly. But as I said hollow inside. You could store your treasure in the legs. Planning to attach Amaze 100watt Heater by screwing it to blocks and industrial Velcro the blocks to the underside of the table.

I am overall pleased with this table, although had a tough time assembling the four legs on the table. It is a nice table for my kid to use as a desk (for kindergarten work that does not need much space) and for playing with toys. But it's very light and small, so it will not be used for many years in terms of durability and weight limitations. I won't feel put out when it goes in the recycling heap because it is so cheap!Assembly is very straightforward; you have four double-sided screws which you attach to the corners of the table and the legs. I don't know how else to twist these screws other than using pliers (I read another reviewer's tip), which was a long, arduous process, about 40 minutes because of my weak mechanical skills. The table material is very cheap, so I advise using towels to lay out the table before assembling---or risk getting nicks and abrading the thin veneer layer and revealing the particle board underneath.

Don't buy this. It is only 17.5 inches in height. Far too short for a side table. That is probably why the seller doesn't list the height specifically but puts in this misleading extra 21 3/8 inches after the width to make you assume that is the height: "Product dimensions :Length: 21 5/8 ", Width: 21 5/8 " / 21 5/8 " I might be able to use this is a nightstand but it will most likely end up in the garbage as it isn't worth trying to send back an assembled table for $36.

I am very pleased with this table, and will be purchasing another soon. It was easy to assemble and is perfectly sized for a small end table. I use it in my bird room for my hand tame pair of Finches and they love to hop around on it when they're outside of their cage. It was intended to be for a brooder and was used as such at first but when they grew, their brooder turned into a flight cage. :)

Simple side table with clean lines. It is broader than it appears in the picture and lower than most side tables, but works perfectly for me. I use it to set my printer/copier on and it's great because the low height means the printer is not a prominent object in my office. It is standard Ikea- functional and well priced.
