Winsome Suzanne 3-PC Space Saver Kitchen Set

This is an excellent little table. It is wonderful for small spaces, and very useful everyday. The quality of the wood and design are very good. It was well packaged, and arrived in perfect condition. It’s a beautiful and useful addition to our small kitchen. The stools are sturdy and useful and the drawers are great for storing the clutter we usually leave on the table. We are very pleased with the table, once I got it completely assembled. However, this could have been made to be far easier to assemble. The instructions could be better. Not much written instructions, mostly diagrams, leaving out some information that would have been helpful. None of the pieces are marked for identification, such as piece A or B as referred to in the instructions. I advise you to use your own tools, and you will need a ratchet or a power driver. If you try to put it together using the hex key provided, you will ruin your hands. If you take your time and don’t try to rush it, you will have a sturdy, highly functional piece of furniture.

Perfect for the limited space available. Easy to install . Strong sturdy and made of high quality materials

This is an update to the comment I made below right after I received this item:
I contacted the seller regarding the damaged table top, and I received an response quickly informing me that the replacement was requested and order forwarded to the shipping department.

After that, I received another email informing that the item was shipped. It took over a week because I live outside of the mainland US, it’s not unusual.

I received the replacement table top last night, it was very very nicely packaged, and in perfect condition.
No split, no scratch, just a nice brand new table top. I appreciate the seller’s attention and swift action.

This morning, I assembled it. I’ve made more than enough DIY furniture before, and this is one of the easiest for sure. It comes with the wrench, so what you need are screwdriver to attach table top to the body, and hummer to push in those decorative plugs.

Instruction is simple enough, and all the parts and screws fit fine. The only struggle I had was to align tabletop to the body in order for screws to go thru because it’s hard to see the guiding hole on the back of the table top.
I used a marking tape, and also, pre-screw the holes on the tabletop so they get a bit bigger which makes it easier to locate when you actually put the screws in. (you will see what i mean when you get to that).

But overall, it’s very sturdy and easy to assemble. one-person job within one hour. Quality is good, especially for the price you pay. It’s not a show-off piece, but simple, convenient, and well designed. I think it’s a good buy.

Customer service is great so that’s a big plus.

______ original review _____________________
I just received this item. I opened the box and the first thing I took out was the drop-leaf top. I inspected it and noticed immediately that the table top has a rather large split all the way through the board’s end.

This is a folding table top, and the 2 boards are already attached by 2 folding metal plate pieces screwed on. As you can see on the pictures, the split was most likely made when these plates were screwed into the board. Split runs all the way long and it does go all the way thick meaning you can see the split from the top and the bottom.

This means the board will fall off in no time. I considered filling the gap with glue to reinforce but when i saw the split/gap on the top side, I gave up on that idea.

The rest of the parts look fine even though i still keep them nicely packaged. I just requested the seller to send me the drop-leaf top only so that i can still assemble and start using this item.

The product looks good, and damage like this can happen to wood material so if this inconvenience is remedied quickly enough, i will still give the seller good rate. I will update when i hear back from them.

Toss up between 4 and 5. The desire to rate it at 4 is simple. I ordered two of these at one time. One of them has a big crack on the drop table section that is only visible from underneath. It is where a screw goes into a hinge and it was obviously tightened too much. This occurred on the manufacturer’s end since the table top/drop leaf comes pre-assembled. It was cracked when I got it but it was not noticed until very close to having it fully assembled. After going through all that work for an inexpensive product during a big move…I didn’t have the energy to disassemble it to send it back.

The second one didn’t have any cracks out of the box. It was a bit quicker to assemble after working my way through the first one. The instructions are good. My hints for assembly include saving the packing included in the box to use to prop up parts if assembling by oneself. The actual instructions are clear but it is hard to hold one piece in place while trying to attach it to another piece…a second set of hands would make it a breeze.

The style of the space saving table is what won me over. I bought two to go into a new apartment that really didn’t have room for a dining table. For the most part it is just my husband and me. We either eat at the island/breakfast bar or while snuggled up in our love seat. We needed something to accommodate the occasional dinner guests though. The new apartment also lacks decent overhead lighting in the living room so we also needed a way to easily provide lighting.

This is where these little tables shine. They are cute accents tables for our new lamps. They generally sit on either side of our love seat. I use the closest drawers for little things like the fan remote, my books, a wee notepad and pen, and coasters. The far drawers hold little things like placemats and napkins for guests. It is a functional little side table.

My biggest concern was their utility as dining surfaces. They work perfectly for that. The leaf is adjustable and sturdy. Lock the wheels and you will be quite happy. We’ve pulled one of the tables out a couple of times for company and we are more than happy. Our guests are also intrigued by the design and function.

I will definitely recommend this product despite my cracked unit. I did not make the effort to alert anyone that there was an issue with the first table. I was very happy with the quality of the second product. My husband and I love how functional the space savers are and our guests offer compliments on the appearance and function.
