Monarch Specialties 44" Dark Taupe Tempered Glass Coffee Table - Modern Living Room Centerpiece for Home Decor & Entertainment

Luce bonita mi salaThe wood piece arrived with a chip in the corner and the company sent a replacement right away. Very nice table. Solid and sturdy.lasted for ages, they don’t always restock but it’s sleek and fits the spaceWhen I received it and opened the package, one of the table corners was greatly damaged.All paint and plastic broken and you were able to see the mdf. I asked to exchange the item, because the table is really nice, the finish, the glass, they look good quality finish at the end so i decided to exchange it.I sent the return and they sent me another one. When I open we the box, it seemed less damaged than the other one, but surprise! There another damaged corner again. This one was waaaay less damaged, than the other one, so just to avoid the hassle of sending it back, I decided to keep it as is not as damaged and also I couldn't find a similar product.What I realized is that the problem is the packaging, the corner is only protected by a half inch foam and cardboard box on the outside, so if not handeled with precise care, it will most likely have at least some damage in the product.Here is a picture of the item.It's not very sturdy. Beautiful though...not so sturdy but good value and looks pretty nice.i would recommendI was looking for a modern yet simple elegant looking table and this one fits the exact look I was looking for. 6 screws makes it a easy set up! Table is heavy duty as is the tempered glass. For the price I actually wasnt expecting such great quality. I just put it together so I can’t approve or contradict the reviews of durability but so far so good and I will post photos once I have it set up and it’s appropriate space.first of all, let me say that I was scared to purchase this based off other reviews. For those who are saying that it looks cheap with cheap construction, I am concerned enough to ask, what table did you actually receive? Its very study, looks wonderful, and even has a pseudo "wood" feel with a quick brush of the hand. I have been coffee table shopping for a few month, and this rivals or surpasses other tables I was looking at for even 3 times the cost (home goods, bobs, Ashley furniture, ect) I get nothing but compliments from all who see it. I have it on top of a light colored shag rug, and it has the ability to blend in but at the same time stand out, and I love that about it. I assembled mine in about 5 minutes with the help of a friend. My only advise is, the directions are all wrong. The directions state to plus the metal washer on the glass side. Anyone who knows anything about glass knows that that is a no no, so use common sense when putting it together and you will be happy. Following their directions will leave you relacing the table ina year or so..... and getting the free experience of sweeping up tempered glass pieces.Love It!!
