Flimsy. Broken within a week |
| I should have read the reviews. Flimsy, cheaply made and a complete waste of money. The legs are hollow and broke within a week of purchasing it. I agree with the other reviewer - not worth half the price. |

Cheap even at half the price |
| Of course I didnt read the reviews before I bought this. I do like the top of the table but the legs are so cheaply made that the finish came right off with the made in china that was stuck on there. It is very uneven and wobbly too. |

Not so bad |
| After reading the other reviews, I was hesitant to purchase this table. But for the sales price it was worth the gamble. Having received the table today and unpacking it, I could easily see how some of the pieces could be mismade and not fit together properly. However, in my case I was able to put the table together in less than 30 minutes with no problems. The end result is a lovely little table - now I am tempted to purchase another one at that price. |

Terrible quality |
| I have seen this table in the catalog for years and finally bought it. The legs were uneven, the decorative screws wouldnt go in as the holes were crooked. The main screws to attach the legs to the top were also crooked but I managed to get them in eventually. When I realized the legs were uneven I decided to return it and tried to take it apart. Because the screws attaching the legs to the top were poorly positioned I couldnt get them out and they were stripped. I had to repack it with the legs still on it. Adorable table in the picture but Im also surprised they still offer it based on the reviews. |

Very Poor Quality |
| I too found this table to be very poor quality. The legs werent even so the table wasnt level. Two of the screws were stripped so couldnt be used. The material is very low quality. I was surprised Wisteria would offer something of such poor quality. |

Nice table for the price |
| I was hesitant to order this table based on other reviews, but was pleasantly surprised. The table arrived quickly, and unlike others, I had no problems putting it together - it took about 10 mins. The table is very lightweight and could easily be knocked over, but it looks very nice and is the perfect size for a small space. |

cute table but had some trouble myself |
| The four stars are for the finished product after assembly. It is a really cute table and I did not feel that it was as rickety as others have stated. That said... I give it 1 to 2 stars for the enclosed instructions and problems with assembly. The instructions, in my opinion, were pretty lousy, but with a little common sense I made it through. I also had paint chip off the top of one screw but you really cant notice it. I also had the same problem as another one or two reviewers when I tried to screw the last screw into the crossbar. It seemed as if there were no grooves in the hole where the screw goes and just wouldnt take. I almost gave up but finally tried something that worked. Ill tell you what I did in case it helps someone: I had no trouble with the 1st three screws on the crossbar but the last one wouldnt take. So I loosened the third screw a bit the screw on the same side as the problem screw, then was able to tighten problem screw and finished by tightening the screw I loosened. I hope this helps. Once assembled it looks really great though, in my opinion it looks just like it does on their site. One more thing, two of the decorative screws were missing so I called customer service and they said they are sending them right out. The screws werent needed for function so I was able to set up the table in the meantime. |

looks cute in the picture, but very poor quality |
| Please do not buy this table! I was very excited when I saw this table online and bought it to go with my little antique chair. It took over 1 hour to assemble, some of the screws did not work, the glass top had a paint streak, and it took another 1 hour to repack. I am very handy, but because of the screws it took me forever to put it together and to take it apart! I bought a metal basket shelf which also had a poor quality as the handle had a broken piece. It costed $33 to return them which makes me really upset! These were my first purchase from Wisteria, and I am very concerned about their quality controll of their products. Even though the price of the table was relatively low, this should not happen. |

NO STARS |
| I sent an email to Wisterias Customer Service over a month ago about this item and never received a reply. This table is so poorly made, the pieces are very cheap and rickety.
Shame on you, Wisteria, for low quality items and for such a lack of customer service. You dropped the ball. |

Not as bad as the reviews say! |
| After much debate, I bought 2 of these tables as bedside tables for my Master Bedroom. I was looking for a petite table that could hold a lamp and wasnt too high. I would have prefered if it were a few inches higher but I have a low bed, so it works. I like the look of the table and I think they did a nice job of antiquing the mirror top. However, for such a small table - it was a pain in the a#* to put together! It came in 4 pieces with a box of screws and I even had leftover pieces! I dont think it is that well made, but it works in my room and I like the look. I think the pair would also be nice in the family room or living room next to a couch or chair. Also, as soon as I received them in the mail, the price dropped to $59 per table. I would appreciate the $40 refund from Wisteria! |

Do not buy this table |
| I wish I had read the reviews before I bought 2 of these tables. They are very poor quality, wobbly, light weight and the paint finish comes off when you try to screw it togeather. Then it cost me 14.00 to return them! I stongly recommend you to not purchase these tables. |

Unfortunate |
| Thought this was the perfect little table to finish off my office, wanted to use it as something to hold a book, drink maybe a trinket or two but the assembly was impossible. The screw holes were not machined properly, therefore the screws would not go in, they also didnt line up so at least 3 of the 4 holes on the cross bar wouldnt work. I didnt even bother taking the glass out of the box as I knew this wouldnt be able to be assembled as it was. Too bad as I really liked it as it looked online but the paint also was not what I thought, more of a light mud brown, not as pretty as pictured. I will be returning ASAP. |

Not as nice as I expected |
| I originally saw this table in Country Living Magazine and loved the look. I just received it and the assembly was difficult. The crossbar cannot be attached because one of the screw holes on the legs is crooked. There is also a chip on the glass top. I also would not describe the color as oxblood with gold. More like bronze. It is a nice looking table, but I would not put a lamp on it because it is wobbly. I will be contacting customer service because we cannot fit the last screw in the leg. What do you expect when this stuff is made in China? |

Fine for a dim corner |
| If you look at this table from a distance, it looks great -- like on the website, where you cant see how cheap it is. Given that the legs are wrought iron, I expected it to be much heavier and sturdier, although if Id paid attention to the weight I should have realized its quite a lightweight little thing. Its also not oxblood in color or even reddish at all -- more of a light brown -- although I wouldnt be surprised if the color can vary according to how much stain is slapped on. Speaking of which, pieces of the stain flaked off of the screws before Id even put them in, meaning there are now bright shiny silver screwheads visible... if you bend down to look. The one positive is that the mirror is antiqued nicely and helps draw the eye away from the chintzy base. Since I got this on sale, and since itll just be tucked in a corner, its not worth eating the cost of shipping. But if I saw this on display at a Wal-Mart or Target, Im not sure whether Id think it was worth $79. Wisterias stylish photos often make the individual products look like theyre higher quality than they really are... and I keep swallowing the bait! |

I LOVE this table! |
| I have seen this table on the site for a couple months, and it just arrived. It is sturdy enough for a large lamp and a crystal vase. It looks really nice as a bedside table. |
