How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Quality!
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2019
I am using this product for homeschooling. I wanted something that would last through the years. I purchased Lifetime brand kids chairs to go with it. With the legs the lowest they can go, it works perfect for my 2 and 4 year old. It’s super sturdy and is exactly the same quality as the tables that you use in classrooms (former school employee). Washable crayons wipe away easily on the table top. I also put it together easily by myself. No tools were required, as it came with the Alan wrench.

1.0 out of 5 starsInstructions TOTALLY useless; height "adjustable" only if you want pre-set heights.
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2019
I have purchased a lot from Amazon and really was excited to find this table, sturdy enough (buyers said) for a sewing machine, and height adjustable from 19" - 30". The instructions offer nothing in the way of detail about adjusting the length of the legs. It arrives telescoped with screws holding a 17" space. In order to adjust the height, one must remove the screws. OK -- I could do that. BUT when I did that and tried to establish a 22" - 24" height (what I need for my sewing machine), there is only one hole on the inside piece of the inside telescoped piece. There is nothing in the instructions to account for this worry. Am I supposed to use the screws provided even if there is no "hole" to receive them? I am very disappointed and hope that I get some answers to questions I've posed in the "questions" section. If other buyers clarify it for me, I will happily adjust my review.

I picked this table because it din't fold! I needed a table that I could use for sewing and wanted one that was completely flat and didn't bow in the middle where my machine sat. This table is sturdy and solid! Love it

5.0 out of 5 stars A Short Adjustable Table
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2020
Verified Purchase
I spent hours scouring Amazon for a height adjustable table that would work with the other furniture in my sewing room. This was the only one that could be lowered to the 24" I needed but I really wanted wheels so almost passed. One of the other reviewers said that the ball feet on this table made it easy to move so I hit the order button.

This table is heavy and sturdy, just like the ones used in classrooms. And the ball feet glide easily on my hardwood floor with no marks at all.

Assembly is easy. The legs attach at a slight outward angle so make sure the adjustment holes face in as you fasten the bolts. If you have an Allen or Torx bit for an electric drill, assembly is 10 minutes. With the included Allen wrench, 15 minutes.

The height adjustment requires moving two bolts in each leg to the correct holes. The height I needed lines up with only one bolt hole but it's perfectly sturdy and secure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I needed! Flexible use, sturdy build
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2021
Verified Purchase
There are some great stylish tables and desks out there, but nothing was going to work for my need: a table to put a digital piano on. For a number of reasons, I didn’t want to use a standard piano stand, but most tables are made so that the surface is 29” off the floor. Add in the few inches of the piano itself, and that’s too high to comfortably play. I was really surprised how hard it was to find a truly adjustable height table. Fortunately I found this and decided to go for the 24x48 version to provide enough room for the piano and extras behind it.

Great decision! First, it was very well packed and delivered intact by UPS. It was easy to unpack and assembly (1 person with an electric screwdriver with hex attachment) took only 30 min. My first guess as to “how high?” was off, but I was easily able to flip it, bring it down an inch, and move it into place. Perfect!

Solid, almost stylish, easy to clean, doesn’t wobble. Beware, though: once you select your height, it won’t easily be adjusted. Everything is held in place with the screws (for each leg, 3 at base, 2 on leg to set length). So if you want something more like a lightweight utility table that can go from 25” to 30”, this isn’t what you’re looking for. But if you need it to be adjustable at setup and want something long lasting and attractive, this is a great option at an affordable price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavyweight; works great as a desk
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2022
Verified Purchase
I bought this to use as a work-from-home desk, so I could set it at 27" and type with my keyboard on the desk, sitting at a comfortable, relaxed height. Most desks are around 30" in height, which is comfortable for writing with a pen, but not so much for typing (and I'd consider myself a fairly average height - falling somewhere in between petite and tall). I prop my monitor up 4 inches on a monitor stand (with a drawer) so it's at the right height, and this set-up works much better for me than a standard-height desk. The cost was also much better (about half the price of the cheap desks I was looking at). I like the look of this: the speckle-gray finish is similar to the professional office furniture, and the black/chrome legs and rounded black feet look nicer than I expected. It looks very pulled-together with a black lamp and bookcase/file cabinet. It is heavy and sturdy, so it doesn't shake around when I'm working/typing; but because it's heavy, your back might be happier if you have a buddy help you move it, and lift it upright after you install the legs.

I use these in my sewing room to put my machines on. They are sturdy and I love the fact they are height adjustable. Plus they are much less expensive than some of the brands made for specific models of machines. Having these tables means if I need to move a machine I don't have to move the table too. Height is good and the tables are strong.

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing table
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2021
Size: 30"x48"Style: RectangularVerified Purchase
very easy to assemble for me, came with all the screws. Almost completely undamaged expect for a very small chip in the top right corner of the table top, that is smaller than a dime.

I think the company should advertise this as all purpose tables, as the weight capacity is decently high and they should make bigger versions. Such as 55 inch or even 63. People have no idea how hard it is to find a sturdy, non foldable table that's height is below 29 inches.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for virtual schooling
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2020
Verified Purchase
This is a really nice desk for my second grader. The height is low enough that even a short seven year old can sit at it comfortably. The surface size is just about perfect. There is room for a supply bin on each side and a chromebook in the center. When we need to, we can push the chromebook back to the wall and there is plenty of room for a workbook or note pad on the desk in front. This is a really sturdy desk; I think it will hold up to heavy use for years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent sturdy table for hobbies, home office, or general use.
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2020

Packaging was organized. Easy to get out of the box and start putting it together.

Table was odorless.

Very sturdy with canted legs and good weight for overall stability.

Table surface is smooth, but not slick and has been easy to clean. Surface is hard enough to avoid everyday scratches.

Adjustability range meets my needs - set once with leg bolts and forget about it. If you are wanting to adjust height frequently, this might be frustrating.

It's a long Covid 19 story, but this fall I'll be teaching my first grade grandson. I have really struggled to create an incredible but affordable classroom in my home. This table is amazing!! It is sturdier than many of the tables in my public school classroom. I would absolutely recommend this table to anyone that is trying to purchase a quality product! Also, my grandson loves it!
