Sturdy and bigger than I thought.
I purchased this a couple of weeks ago, as I never have a place to pot my plants. It's really strong and much bigger than I thought. The only downfall is, pre drilled holes would've been better, especially for a novice like myself. The wood has split in a few places, but this hasn't affected the unit itself.

It’s a bit rough, but good value
When this arrived one of the top slats was loose, but it hammered back in ok, the wood is a bit rough in places. I gave it a sand down and painted it before assembling and it looks lovely. The instructions are clear, but you have to drill your own pilot holes. don’t deviate from the measurements they give you. I moved the legs over slightly, but forgot this then wouldn’t attach to the shelf below! I also had 2 legs thicker than the others. Don’t know if this was a mistake as it isn’t mentioned in the instructions, knowing what I know now, I would put the thicker legs at the back, as the back crossbeam will have more wood to screw into.

Wished I’d read the reviews first
No instructions or screws provided. Having since read previous reviews they all said the same! Fortunately went onto suppliers website and downloaded instructions and used own screws. The table had obviously been stored outside too as the wood was very damp considering it is supposed to be treated.

Not Great
My wife saw this and thought it looked good, I didn't check it out and just purchased based off her link. The product took a long time to come and when it did arrive it was missing instructions and screws (resolved by customer service) I then had to wait more time for the replacement screws (which was almost 6 days) and when they finally came there were 26 instead of 28 screws. The quality of the timber is quite poor, many of the pieces of wood I had were damaged or chipped, it is also quite annoying to put together requiring you to drill pilot holes for everything and in some instances measure out where you would like to put the legs, must be x cm apart, but be equally distant from the edges (no measurement provided). I have since sanded it and used a timber treatment and the end result is very nice, however for the price I could have just bought a pallet and knocked together something similar for a similar cost and the same labour effort

Disappointing.
Instructions were poor. We had to use some of our own screws in addition to those provided to make it strong enough. The top lats that were supposed to be fixed to the frame were loose and had to be re fastened. We needed a builders square to get the legs straight. Disappointing quality.

Disappointed
I didn't mind waiting for the table to arrive , I think it was three weeks in all. Yet when I unpacked it I was horrified to find that I needed to drill the holes before screwing in the screws. No markings to show where the screw placings should be. It took my son over three hours to lay the table out and then assemble. If I had known this at the time I would never have brought it. Also there was a large shoe print on one of the pieces and wood is very rough. I would never have brought this ,so yes I'm not happy.
