This is a nice table for the money. The wood is very solid. The color is a dark rich stain. Darker than pictured. The drawer is a pretty nice size. I checked a couple other websites that offered the table and Amazon had the lowest price. This table was also very easy to put together.

I ordered this table on 1 Dec and received it today(3 Dec). What a nice surprise. I wasn't expecting a lot since the table was so inexpensive. It looks very nice and did not take long to put it together. The finish is very nice and its the perfect size for my family room.

Beautiful table and fine quality for the price. Only disappointment was there were no attached paper assembly instructions. Fortunately I found it on the internet and was able to print it, but that was an inconvenience.

The finish on this table is very uneven. Although it is inexpensive I did not expect it to appear so cheap.

This is a really nice looking coffee table, especially for the price. Lower quality tables at Target cost more than this. It is durable, and takes all sorts of abuse well. My 3 year old has spilled many glasses of milk and water on this with no staining, colored on it with crayons and markers, and even got nail polish on it. It cleans up nice, and the bottom shelf is great for holding coloring books and extras, and for putting your feet on when you are sitting. The height is perfect, too. It's not too high to put your legs on, and it's not too low to make reaching for your drink uncomfortable. The drawer easily holds 3 or 4 remotes, slides, and closes nice. This table is well made. We've had this for a year, and there is some wear and tear on it, though. It does mark and dent somewhat, but you should expect that with wood. However, considering how much use and abuse this table gets, it is holding up really, really well. It is strong, sturdy, and very easy to set up. It looks twice as expensive as it really is. Excellent product for the money.

This item is a bit smaller, but it does what I wanted it to do.

I paid a bit over $100 with shipping, and I find the quality to be really good and sturdy for the price. I didn't have any assembly issues, it took about five minutes to put together. It's perfect for a small space, especially because of the shape, and there were no flaws. And, it's all wood. The only thing I changed was the drawer pull, which needs to be done on most furniture anyway if you're particular about the look.

The package arrived on a rainy day and was placed outside our door with only a plastic bag covering the top of the product. By the time we got home later in the day the bottom of the packaging was soaked; it was ruined so making a return in the original packaging would have been impossible. As with the first table we received and returned the packaging was insufficient to prevent damage; this particular table had apparently been dropped; one corner is slightly damaged. The table itself is full of flaws and doesn't fit together correctly. One leg is slightly tilted. While the table has a nice appearance from a distance once you get close it's easy to see all of the flaws and poor craftmanship. Overall quality: D Packaging materials: F Overall finish: D Overall value: D We've tried twice now and both tables have been very poor; apparently there is very little if any quality control where the tables are manufactured in Thailand. We won't be buying any more furniture through Amazon.

We purchased this table with free shipping from Amazon because we live in Alaska where almost no one will ship or if they do, we have to pay at least double for shipping. This table has a nice dark wood finish and looks great in our entryway. The instructions were not the best, but with a little common sense, were not that necessary. The assembly of the legs to the table top is a little frustrating & tedious because you have to hand tighten the screws with the included hex key and the location of the holes/screws is such that you have to insert and remove the hex key many times. The finished product is nice, though, and I would buy it again!

Since we needed a table for a guest room, we did not want to spend alot of money. We found this table on Amazon for a great price. We were very surprised with the quality - solid wood and very sturdy - and it looks expensive. It was not hard to put together, though you do need two people. A great buy!

Nice table. Not too hard to assemble. Goes nicely with other winsome wood furniture in the walnut finish.

This is the one of the worst products I have ever seen, half of the parts are scratched and chipped. The wood looks terrible. Didn't even bother to assemble.

This is the worst product i have purchased for amazon.Directions were vaery unclear,pictures were very hard to decifer.the supplied hardware did not all match-up with the pictures.After two nights of struggle we completed construction.Some panels do not match-up smoothly and took some persuaion to make them fit.I would not recomend thisWinsome Wood TV/Media Stand with 2 Switch-able Drawers, Antique Walnut product at all.

The Shelves do not line up. The wood looks horrible, I would not use this stand in my garage. Worst product I have purchased on Amazon. Do Not buy a Winsome Furniture Product

We bought this product for our 52 inch Tv and it fits perfectly. The style and size is perfect for our living space. It looks like a very spendy piece of furniture and friends are shocked when I tell them what I paid as ost of them paid $500-$700.00 for theirs, and not even as sleek. Hubby put it together in one morning and had no problems. Would reccomend.

Purchased this stand along with a Samsung 52LN750. Coincidentally, this stand matched perfectly with my current decor. It looks fantastic when put together properly, particle board or not. Very sturdy as well. I gave it four stars because of how generic the instructions are and because a couple of the pieces were a little roughed up. Luckily it kind of blended in with the natural "antique" look the stand possesses and there is no need to return anything. Additionally, it is extremely difficult to line up the cabinet doors evenly. We got them as even as possible, but they are still not level. Good thing is that it is only apparent up close, at TV viewing distance you cannot tell what-so-ever. Amazon gets 5 stars because of speedy shipment and the fact that the price was about $30 less than what it is at the time of me writing this review. I would definitely recommend this piece if you have the time and ability to put it together. I chose this over numerous similar pieces that were double, some almost triple, the price... solely because it just flat out looked better.

The directions were not the best. This is an OK item. Be careful removing the part number stickers or you'll rip off the surface coloring. The item does what it's supposed to do. Just remeber it's made of particle board.

After reading a number of reviews on Amazon and other sites, I felt that this piece of furniture was the best value available. By the way, I ordered this piece and paid for 1-day shipping, which was only $10 and it arrived in 1-day, all 113 lbs! A couple of things you should know before purchasing this item. First, it is 100% particle board, no real wood. Not necessarily a problem, but just so you know what you are getting. Second, check all pieces before assembling. I got about half-way through the 3 1/2 hour job (not sure how the one reviewer did it in 1 hour!) and realized that one of the pieces had cracked paint. Given the location of the piece and the lack of desire to return, I continued anyway. Some of the pieces don't line up as well as they should and you may need to force a few together. (Doors are tricky to line up perfectly) However, given the price I paid and the strength and appearance of the piece, I still feel it was a good purchase. I would recommend this piece, just not highly recommend.

This is one of the best tv stands i've purchased. It is a quality purchase that even holds my 182 lb. tv. Would purchase this one again!

Takes time and patience to assemble. It arrived well package and I didn't have any broken or lost parts. Its looks great! The perfect stand for the price.

I like it, except there was slight damage in the delivery. I was able to overcome it and still assemble the piece so you cannot see the damage. Also, the door (despite my several attempts to adjust) just doesn't meet up withe cabinet the way I'd like.

this cabinet takes a little while to assemble, but in the end is a very good-looking piece of furniture and is very sturdy. The assembly was a little cumbersome, but everything is very well labeled and all parts necessary are included (except a phillips screwdriver). One of my side trim pieces was broken right out of the box, but after making one call to the Bush customer service center, I was sent a replacement free of charge (arrived two days later). The cabinet is adequately sized, but there are a lot of home theater system receivers and dvd players that might have a tough time fitting in here- check dimensions first. My Denon receiver fits inside, but barely (the master volume knob almost hits the glass. Also, I had to cut a much bigger hole in the back panel to accommodate all my wires, but again, that's only a minor inconvenience. All things considered, a good auido stand for the money.

The product arrived, and took me about an hour to finally assemble. Problems: 1. The stand itself is a bit shaky, and can only take 50lbs of weight per shelf. My Onkyo 805 receiver is 61 lbs.. I placed it on the lowest level, and crossing my finger that it works 2. With the receiver inside, the door won't close.. (problem to many, but not to me because...) 3. The door was completely broken when it arrived. The frame separated from the glass. i had to buy glue and glue the two together myself. After 2 more hours of doing that, and fiddling with it, i gave up and threw the door away. Now i have an open cabinet, with the receiver sticking out. 4. Complicated to assemble. probably the most annoying assembly i've ever done with respect to furniture. Positives: 1. doesn't look too bad. without the door it's still useable. Sorry Bush.. the quality control is not acceptable.

Nicely laid out book with lots of information on Pottery and Porcelain marks, great illustrations and contains a comprehensive reference list for further reading.

Great quality of shipping. Found book to be in the best condition. Thank you so much and I would hope to have the opportunity to purchase a book from you again.

If you collect this type of pottery, you will have to get this book sooner or later as it provides an outstanding reference to marks found on these items and so permits you to assess the age of the item. But the lack of any real advice, wisdom, guidance, explanations, etc. about the subject of collecting these pieces, knowing when marks are real or fake, and assessing the quality of the pieces is essentially nil. So you will have to learn pretty much everything you need to know from other sources. A real disappointment given that the authors are almost certainly know a lot more about the subject matter than they put into these books. M Pezim

This is a good resource book. It has it's limitations, but I use it almost daily. I look up alot of ceramics marks, and I find the large majority of them in this Kovels book. It is great if you are looking for a specific makers mark, or decoratoras mark. The limitation is that there is no way to comprehensively view all marks from one particular maker. If you have a few treasures that you want to accurately identify, then it is very good. Don't get me wrong, I haven't found every mark I look for. But I haven't found a Marks reference that I do. This book provides a good clean and easy format to locate the mark I need, and quickly. Also, if you are looking for back ground info on the company, this isn't the book for you. While the Kovel's do an excellent job of showing literal thousands of easy to find marks, thats all they show. All in all a highly recommended resource. Any serious ceramics collector, dealer, or dedicated flea market/yard saler should have a copy.

Bought this as a gift for my daughter and she has really enjoyed it's contents. Now she can see if the "Junk and/or Antiques" she has purchased has any real value!!

The only reason I gave this four stars intead of five is there was some amazing tile work and some I wondered "why they heck did they bother putting that in". I think they could have chosen a bit better on some of the pics but all in all it was an inspirational book.

As a ceramic artist and sculptor, I find the "500" series of books quite inspirational. I especially appreciate the wide variety of techniques used by the individual artists. I live in Australia which in some ways is quite isolated from the ceramic world at large. People in isolation tend to develop their own culture. This is especially true in ceramics. By showing contemporary work being done in other countries, Lark again in this publication, has given the artist food for thought. And the many full-colour photographs give an insite into the techniques being developed by others. From the book's title, I had expected to find page after page of ceramic wall tiles. But I was happily surprised to find that the book shows more or less flat (or relief) sculpture and is not limited to the sterotyped wall-only "tile" applications. I would recommend this book to artist who work in clay or any other 3D medium. It especially makes a good read when you are suffering "artists block". There are so many examples of different types of work here, that you are bound to go back to your workbench with a wealth of new ideas.

I own a handmade tile business. There was some inspiration to be found in these pages.

I am an all around arts and crafts person I thought I would find this interesting. It wasn't what I expected and I sent it back. It is a very large book with pages and pages of tiles...most I didn't like.

Great book - great price. Gave me lots of ideas for my own projects. I was able to create original works using similar ideas to those others had made.
