Zinus Juliet 45 Inch Wood Dining Table/Espresso Solid Wood Kitchen Table/Easy Assembly

Okay, this isn't a massive, high dollar piece of handmade furniture from the Victorian Era for my dining hall, but I am very satisfied with it. The fact that I'm writing a review actually surprises me.The top has a rustic ("farmhouse") look to it and mine is in very good shape. With the routed channels and several prominent knots in the wood, it has a bit of 'character.'It's obviously just a table with four legs, so assembly was quick and so easy a caveman could do it.....if he has an Allen wrench. Which brings me to my next points.The legs bolt-on with two Allen bolts going into each leg, as you'd probably expect. The bolts go through a metal brace, and into threaded inserts in the legs. They use a flat, and lock washer, so don't crank on the bolts with all your strength. You could actually damage something if you try to get it too tight. Although you'd probably have to go through the stage of bending the fairly thin metal first. On the last bolt I was tightening I cranked on it until I heard a 'pop.' I immediately backed-off a little and left it at that. I had bent the metal a bit, but all is well. The table is rock-solid, and with lock washers on it I have complete confidence that it's secure.There's white wooden trim under the tabletop that can be seen in the photos that also serves as lateral support for the legs, so the construction is sound. I weigh over 200 pounds, and I wouldn't dance on the table (sober), nor have I even put all of my weight on it (and won't), i do believe it would **probably** hold me, but please don't think it's a good place for extremely heavy items. That's not what it's made for. Mine will basically be used as a microwave stand to free-up counter space, a place to put my Ninja Foodi cooker, my small smoothie maker and my juicer. I'll also use it as a prep. area for cooking and canning. I'm not sure what the rated weight capacity on the table is, but I would definitely respect it. I'd think I'll probably have no more than about 50 pounds on it, possibly less. (there's a 'Product Documentation' PDF available on Amazon)I should point out - one of the first things I noticed about this table was the great packaging. Although one corner of the box was slightly damaged, which is obviously very common in shipped items, it would have taken a lot more than that to actually damage the table or legs. The tabletop was wrapped well in that thin white foam material, whatever it is, and plastic, and the legs were also (individually) wrapped, placed underneath the tabletop, and surrounded by styrofoam. Lots of styrofoam around the table, too.Since the bolts that secure the legs are Allen-headed bolts, the company provides an Allen wrench, which is common among manufacturers. HOWEVER, something I don't believe I've ever seen is, not only did they provide a standard Allen wrench, they also included an Allen ratchet! Although it's not a necessity, the ratchet did speed-up an already very quick job. Such a nice touch that I'm actually writing about it. The wrench even had, what I assume is the company logo on it, and a '+' for Righty-Tighty, and a '-' for Lefty Loosey. It is a reversible wrench, also.The wood trim and legs are painted well and are also in excellent condition.The company also included (exactly) two extra bolts, two extra flat washers and two extra lock washers. Thankfully they were all provided in even numbers, or there would have been an issue, as I seem to have a 'problem.' :-(Lastly, I almost wish I had went ahead and bought the table and the matching two benches, but since the price was more than 3x with the benches included (with the current 7% discount on the table), and I didn't really need them (currently), there was really no need to spend the money.NOTE: I just noticed there's another company (Recacei) that looks to sell what appears to be this same (Zinus) table with a different (very nice), modern-looking, non-farmhouse/rustic top, **with** two benches **included** for just a few dollars more than this Zinus table sells for **without** the benches, but I really didn't look into it. So DYOR.

This table is so nice for the price! I needed a kitchen table to use until I found something I liked. I am pleasantly surprised by how nice this table is and decided to continue to use it instead of looking for something else. It is small - which I knew it would be - but it fits well in my dining area. I love the color and the style. It really is sturdier than I expected and it’s nice and level also (for the price I expected it to maybe feel wobbly but it doesn’t at all). It was really easy to assemble as well. The finish is nice also. It doesn’t seem to ding or scratch easily. I really can’t say enough good things about this table.

The table itself I like and it fits well physically and decoratively into my space. I mainly wanted this table to use as a small eating nook in my kitchen, so I will have 1 side of table pushed up against the wall most of the time, but I do like that the table is wide enough to accommodate up to 4 people if need be and I can simply pull it out from the wall temporarily because the table it pretty lightweight. I like that it can fit up to 4 people, but still doesn't take up too much space. This is definitely great for small spaces.I did buy the matching bench separately and I am tempted to get another matching bench to go with it for the times I need more seating.The finish is decent, but the wood has a sort of rough texture in spots. I suppose this is due to the whole "farm house" ascetic. The top of the table does have grooves in it, but they're easy to clean out.There was some damage on the edges and corners, but customer service helped me out. Honestly the little bit of damage kind of goes with the "farm house" vibe.This table is super easy to assemble. The legs get bolted on with 2 bolts per leg (plus 1 lock washer & 1 flat washer per bolt). There is an included allen wrench, which I didn't even need because I just hand screwed them in and then used the enclosed little ratchet to do the final tightening.I do wish that the table had come with leg levelers though. You know the kind that you can adjust by turning up/down. Oh well, they're easy enough to install myself and I actually ordered some to put on this table. I suppose not everyone needs leg levelers, but not all floors are perfectly even, especially in older homes, so they do come in handy.
