Side by Side Comparison of: Coaster Home Furnishings vs Dorel Living

These are small, not that I didn't expect it, the sizes are listed..guess it's just different once you get them assembled! Everyone loves these though they are very attractive, perfect for a new home owner!

I love these tables! I was skeptical of buying them after reading the reviews, but I took a chance and ordered them anyway. They arrived a day earlier than expected and none of the pieces were damaged or missing. Assembly was simple. They look wonderful in my living room! They are obviously not heavy duty pieces of furniture so we'll see how long they last, but so far I'm very happy with them.

I purchased this coffee table set as a replacement to a similar table I had that had been damaged. I was very happy when I received this table because it was very well packed. No parts arrived broken, damage or missing. It was even made of better quality than the original set I had. The two end tables are smaller than the other two end tables I have but that's ok. I'm going to use them anyway to put lamps on them because I need more lighting in my livingroom. It was very easy to put together. All I had to do was screw the legs on and they were ready to go. This set was a good match to my other set. You can barely tell the small differences only if you really look at them closely. I'm glad I found this at such an affordable price.

I was skeptical, but for the price thought why not? Happy with the results. Arrived sooner than anticipated, no damage, looks beautiful (and not cheap). It will do for now.

It isen't expensive furniture but looks like it is. Very easy to assemble.Just put the legs on.They even give you the tool.It is hard to tell that it is not a marble top.

They look VERY nice, especially for the price. They are incredibly easy to take apart and put back together. I really like these but the only qualm I have with them is that the leg to table connection is somewhat flimsy. You really don't wanna push up from the floor or lean on these tables So far I haven't had anything break, but I have had to re-tighten the bolts when an old roommate wasn't careful with them. But honestly, these are a really good value for the price.

I needed a set of inexpensive tables. I was actually surprised that they don't look cheap at all! There really nice and the top blends with any color furniture you have! If you're looking for an inexpensive set that's sturdy and looks nice too, this is the perfect set! I love these! My husband said I did good! Were happy!

These tables are nice looking and cute for the price but they are shorter and somewhat smaller than the average living room coffee and end tables that I am use to. The marble looking top is wonderful and does hide the dust well. These are perfect if you have a smaller space.

Pros :-
1)Design, goes with anything else in your living room . I have a black sofa so initially thought of ordering the one with black legs and blackish designed top, but that was a)slight more expensive just for the color and b) looked to dark (like a living room scene from a horror movie) so I decided to go with this one with brown legs and lighter colored top with the same design. The design is catchy and strikes you as the 1st thing in the living room when I walk in. Blends very well with my black sofa.
2)Can be dismantled - That is how it arrives with the flat tops of 3 tables and their legs where ever they fit in best.
3)Tools to put things together - There is a plastic bag with the screws ,washers(things that prevent making mark on wood if screws are too tightly fastened) and an 'allen key' to drive the screw in.
4)Packaging - Very good packaging. The manufacturer packing is good with thermocol on all sides within a thick card board box. on top of that Amazon provides another thick card board box with thick card board pieces on all corners (while transportation teh corners take most of the hitting). These corner tiny pieces are so sturdy you mostly definitely cannot tear them by hand.

Cons :-
1)Delay - I was supposed to receive it between 17th-22nd of October, but the 1st attempt at delivery was made on 23rd October. I had placed the order on the 11th of October. I will talk to Amazon about a days delay.
2)Minor Damages - In spite of the quality packaging 2 out of the 12 legs had the wood chipping off towards the bottom of the legs. Looks like a dent that caused it to break into a few pieces, the broken pieces are still holding on though. They are minor because they are hardly noticeable unless someone goes to the bottom of the legs and scrutinizes it. They do not seem due to packaging. They seem to be due to bad handling before it was packaged. They packaging itself is close to flawless.

I just got this in the mail and put it together quickly by myself. The pieces felt strong and solid to me and the assembly is easy and I am not a handy person.
The only negative is that its a little darker than in the picture, I think they have a lot of lighting but in a regular home it tends to be a little darker.

Overall I'm glad I got it and would recommend. The shipping is much faster than they originally said.

I like the furniture however on arrival there were large cracks on each side of the table I had to call Amazon in complain about the cracks in the table other in the tables were running smaller and what I thought they would other than that I was happy that the end tables were running very small and well as the coffee table could have been a little bit bigger than that I was happy with it but I was dissatisfied with the cracks in the table my comment to the seller that they need to find a different way to pack it because I noticed after the fact there was several complaints about that issue I'm having the table arrived damaged

The tables are nice, however I received a defective leg for one of the end tables (hole not threaded for the screw). I have been trying for almost a month now to get a replacement leg or SOMETHING, but the seller is NOT being helpful at all.

The design of these tables looks amazing to me, but you need to have the right expectations. First of all, it is a laminated cover, so it may be obvious to others that the tables were cheap even though they look nice. It is also very likely that the coffee table will receive some sort of damage during shipping while the end tables should remain in good condition. This is because the inside of the coffee table is supposed to hold in all of the other parts, which will naturally rattle around as the box is moved. It is a real pain to return if that happens since the box is bulky. I ended up keeping my table and repairing it underneath with wood glue. It appears pretty sturdy, and I do love the look the tables give in my apartment. Since the two end tables themselves seem to be worth roughly $50 each (at least retail), the purchase seemed to be worth it overall.

I received this yesterday. The package looked like it was protected well, I was skeptical about the negative reviews as far as receiving something broken and in pieces. Well I opened the box, one of the two end tables was broke, and the corner of the coffee table was dented. The table top is somewhat cheaply made but you get what you pay for and this came from china so that should explain everything, I will end up keeping it just so I don't have to deal with sending back and possibly getting another broken one.

In good condition. the end tables were way too short doesn't look good with furniture. But kinda my own fault for not measuring. Price is awesome can't go wrong with that.

It looks good finished and like the picture. The tops are heavier than i thought which was nice. However one of the legs on the coffee table the premade install was literally screwed in at a slant the the leg didnt line up exactly which forced the screw not to be able to screw in. Three of the legs worked so we just put some monkey glue on the leg and installed it that way. One of the end tables wood was scratched pretty bad which luckily we have a stain that is close to the color we put on it. One of the legs where you bolt in- the piece to bolt in was broken off. So again- thank you monkey glue. All in all thankfully the monkey glue worked or i would have returned it.

When I got the table, two of the coffee table legs were wobbly and ready to fall off. I contacted the seller who sent me two new table legs. When I got them, not only did they not go to this coffee table set, but they did not fit. I contacted the seller once again who sent me the correct table legs. Only one of the two legs works. I'm so tired of dealing with them, I'm just going to use gorilla glue. The second star is for the nice marble look of the table set and for the other two tables which were sturdy. Everything else was terrible. This whole process went on for almost two weeks after I received it. Ridiculous. Go with another set if you can.

I received the box and it looked undamaged, something I always look at before opening anything. Upon opening the box everything seemed in order, I opened it all up carefully and laid it out to ensure everything was there. It was. Everything seemed to be in great shape. It was weird on the boxing though, 2 short legs strapped to the underside of each end table which ended up being used for coffee table. The coffee table had the rest of the legs 8 long legs for the end tables, whatever. When I was trying to screw the legs into the table 2 of the legs I couldn't get the screw started, investigating closer I found that the barrel nuts were counter bored too deep and I had to remove the lock washer to give the screw just enough length to attach. After assembling the whole thing I noticed some resin left on the coffee table that I tried to carefully scrape off with a plastic scraper and the top is actually damaged, sucks. Now I know that Amazon is great on returns but, I really can't stand to think of taking this all back apart and trying to box it back up and send it, I guess I'll just live with this low quality cheap table for now and buy some real furniture later.

I didn't expect a lot for a 3-piece set for under $100.00, but this began to fall apart the day I got it. The faux granite top chipped instantly on one of the corners to expose the pressboad beneath. The legs are unstable and I have to be very careful about moving the table or one of the legs is about to break in two. Definitely would not recommend. After a few weeks the top began peeling and warping. Won't buy this company's products again unless I'm able to examine the furniture in person.

The tables came relatively quickly and were super easy to assemble. The price is definitely right for these tables as long as you plan on taking it easy with them. They look really nice. I have no complaints actually with the table set. One thing, however that bothers me is that upon removing the tables from the packing we noticed a rather large bug was stuck to the bottom of one of the tables. Again, this doesn't ruin the tables, but it did make assembling them pretty uncomfortable for me and my girlfriend. It was actually pretty gross to be honest. On top of that, I emailed amazon hoping that maybe the company would issue us some kind of credit for this inconvenience and the only option that was given to us was a full refund IF we disassembled the tables and paid to ship them back. A little ridiculous if you ask me since I stated numerous times that we were pleased with the tables. Overall, the product is good for the price, I just hope no one else has to deal with what we dealt with. I have also given the product a lower review strictly based on the way they handled our situation. If not for that, a solid 3 or 4 for the tables themselves.

Purchased this set. Received and is missing screws to put together. Couldn't find screws in town. Unfortunately my husband threw away the box so cannot return. Didn't see a way to contact the seller for screws.. Looks very cheap so will give them away. Finally contacted the Coaster Fine Furniture and it took a month to get the missing screws. Now that we have the screws, we are missing a thread in the table leg to attach. I would NOT recommend buying these tables. They are cheaply made and not worth the money they are charging.

UPDATE 3/18/17: The coffee table's legs have done everything but fallen off. Customer service is terrible. Do not waste your money on this junk.

One of the worst pieces of furniture I've bought. Screws were falling out of the coffee table before I even took it out of the box. The styrofome in the packaging was shredded into little tiny pieces which made a mess when I took the pieces out. And on top of all of that, the legs for the tables have scratches on them. Deffinately will not buy/recommend this product again. The product could look really nice, but the construction and packaging is just terrible.

Im giving this table a 1 because when i brought it 1 mth later it cracked right down the middle with my 10mth baby grabbed to pull himsself up. I called amazon and talked to 4 representative and none of them could do anything which was a suprise they are usually helpful. They gave me the manufactors number and they would not get back to me. Hope this is helpful it is a nice price but not very sturdy wood.

These tables look good on Amazon but when I received them they were junk, the quality was just horrible. Broken rotted wood was used on the under frame of the coffee table and the female end of screws were stripped so we couldn't even bolt the leg on to the smallest table. One corner was damaged as well and they were quick to blame UPS. They requested pictures from me so they could send replacement parts. No-way... A refund is in order and they can come pick them up. I sent them pictures and attached them here.

Horrible. Absolutely horrible. I got the items packaged perfectly. Once opened...one end table could not be complete because one of the legs was stripped on the inside. The screw wouldn't catch.
Then....the coffee table had two cracks in the fiber board wood. It looks like it will collapse any day now.
I know it was put together as best as it could. My husband is a general contractor and was horrified with the quality.
