Customer Reviews for HOMESTYLES Seaside 36 in. White Medium Rectangle Wood Coffee Table with Shelf

The table looks very much as pictured once assembled except it definitely isn't white - more of a cream color, which unfortunately doesn't match my other furniture. Distressed feature is a bit different looking than I've seen on other furniture. Assembly wasn't too bad although there were some steps more difficult than others. Quality seems pretty decent and is sturdy when assembled properly. The styrofoam packing, although necessary was very messy. What stands out to me the most though is the smell of it. As soon as I opened the box a strong aroma came out and the only way I can describe it, is that it smells like the rainforest at the Cleveland Zoo...not a good smell! So once I got it all assembled I tried cleaning it with a fragrant cleaner...still smells! Now this morning, the day after assembling, I want to use it but I can still smell it and my whole living room smells like it. Hope it fades away quickly, and I hope it's nothing harmful causing the smell. I do like the coffee table for the most part - it is cute and nice - I'm just disappointed that it is cream colored rather than white, as described, and baffled as to why it smells so bad!!

The blue distressing on the legs is a little bit odd, but otherwise it's great! Nice white/ creamy colour

Overall, I love this table. Some reviewers didn't like the off-white color but honestly I don't mind it. It's not WHITE but it also doesn't clash with my white brick fireplace or white accents; it's a very subtle difference. Another reviewer claimed it looked fake, like plastic. I think that's just the finish they put on the table. Again, I am not bothered by it at all and consider myself to be very picky. There are some "distressed" parts that look like small brushstrokes of a darker paint that I can't really see in the online picture of the item, but since things get pretty beat up in my house (kids, husband, dog, cats) I'm fine with those too. I gave it 4 stars for 2 reasons, one being pretty trivial but annoying nonetheless: The packaging was terrible. Cheap styrofoam that broke into so many pieces and I'll surely be sweeping up for weeks to come. The main reason for 4 stars though is the wrench they provide does NOT do a good job of tightening the nuts where needed. The design is such that I'm not sure what tool would fit in the small opening to tighten them good enough to prevent any wiggle. Not a deal breaker, but it could use improvement. I have searched for many months for a table that would fit our space (with a weirdly shaped sectional) and our decor, and I'm very pleased with this table.

This is a really cute coffee table an just perfect for out family room - but keep in mind - it is NOT white - it is very much a cream color. Like others who have reviewed this product, I plan to give it a fresh coat of truly WHITE paint in the near future. It took me an hour to put together on my own and seems to be really solidly built. A good value for the price.

This table is more beautiful than the picture. Love the country simplicity design, just what I have been looking for. I like the first one so much I bough a second one/

Fairly easy to assemble. I did paint it. Fits nicely with the love seat and couch

Love the table. However it was difficult to assemble with a lot of pieces, it took over an hour. Definitely an off white / antique white color which is what I wanted.

Fairly easy to put together. Nice finish not too rustic. Generous size. Good for games and puzzles etc. I have it in my transitional style living room and it works well. Very sturdy.

The color of the table is more of an off white, yellow than white.

Nice table overall. I would order it again. Top did not fasten as well as I would have liked while we were putting it together. Table dents very easily.

Color and construction was exactly as I expected. I love it.

Nice product. Very pretty in my den. Took a while longer to put together but it’s a great table. Very pleased.

Love the table. Took about 30 min to assemble

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this table! Just as described! Looks perfect in my family room.

Easy to assemble but the color is definitely cream not white

These tables look great and are a great value and very easy to assemble.

Very solid piece. A bit surprised the top is only attached with screws instead of the cam lock system though.
