I chose this rating bc I noticed (before assembling) that laminate (Im not sure exactly what the material was) was starting to seperate from the wood. I contacted Amazon for a full refund and had no problem returning it. Not sure if it was a manufacturing defect or what, I just ddnt want to take the chance of getting a replacement and having the same thing happen. If Im going to spend this amount of money on a tv stand I expect it to last a long time w/out "falling apart".

I ordered this set for a tournament at my 4th of July BBQ, but they did not arrive in time because I ordered them too late.  After purchasing and using another cheaply made deck from a local store, I was excited to receive my new custom boards. What was immediately noticeable was the weight of the box compared to the cheaply made boards. After a closer examination of the product, I became disappointed.  The boards are solidly made and the decks of the boards look very nice.  However, the frames of the boards , which are 2x4s, had chips and cracks in some of them and other imperfections were filled in with, what appears to be, wood filler. The frames are unfinished! In my experience from purchasing wood from local home improvement store, I know that wood can often be imperfect right of the shelves. But, I take time to select the best pieces of wood for my projects. The manufactures of the this "custom" board did not appear to select the best pieces of wood and the end product shows it, with too many cracks and too much wood filler. I was looking for a more refined product for the price, not something that looks like it was made in someone's garage.  Rather than send them back, which I did think about, I will be busy in my workshop fixing and finishing the frames. I will definitely build my next set of boards.

Mine had issues that I could fix and live with.  The wood was unfinished... raw wood.  Left like this, it would be stained on the first spaghetti night.  I hit it with a spray can of Varathane semi-gloss, now it looks right and will last much longer.  Problem #2: Knife slots were not cleaned out. Nothing a small file didn't fix in a few minutes.  So, I ended up spending an extra $10 to make it right. Now I am, not proud, but content to have it in my kitchen.  To those wondering, I could not identify the wood.  It is not a classic hardwood, not pine either.  Poplar?

Also, depending on the knife set you have, you may end up with some odd blanks.  The upper left slot is for the OPTIONAL Ronco Rocker Knife, and it is an odd shape.  I'll probably end up buying the rocker knife just to fill the slot.

IT IS A LAMINIATED  PRODUCT , NOT WOOD.  TRIED TO TOUCH UP SCRATCHES WITH WOOD STAIN, THE WOOD GRAIN FINISH  (PAINT??)  DISSOLVED WITH THE STAIN.  WOULD BE A GREAT LAMP IF IT WAS WOOD.

I am preparing for my first child and was very excited about decorating the nursery.  Unfortunately, I purchased several of the Trend Lab Giggles pieces without seeing any of them in person first.  I ordered all the items one day, and surprisingly received the hamper the very next day.  Obviously, I was pleased with this.  UNITL I opened it and saw how poorly constructed it is!  The wooden frame is made of a few pieces of wood that came apart AS SOON AS I put the thing together!  I am very upset with the quality of this item, particularly because of the amount I spent on it!

This unit is not bad looking.  It has a wood smell albeit the pine is not very good quality.  There were NO instructions for assembly included in the packaging, however, I was able to download them from the SIMPLI website.  As I carefully unpacked the pieces, which were clearly marked, one piece had a sizeable rip in the wood.  It is in the front on the base onf the unit.  It would take me more time, money, and hassle to return the piece for replacement.  The package is heavy and large and I did not want to return it and wait.  Instead, I got some wood glue and clamped the pieces together.  It works.

I liked the idea of the product. However, it was shipped to me damaged. The wood on one of the corners was splintered and chipped off.  Because it is damaged, I have not used it, and probably won't use it

I found the picture and directions to be clear (although sparse, they're not hard to follow), but several of the pieces were cut backwards, meaning that the outward-facing wood portions were the parts that were supposed to be inside and not visible.  The backing splinters easily and so the backs of these pieces aren't pretty when facing outwards.  The pieces don't all fit together well but, as a friend reminded me, "it's $10 worth of balsa wood. What did you expect?"

I had been looking forward to receiving the nutcracker and was very disappointed to find that it had not been assembled, including materials used, in accordance with the quality standards advertised. To be more specific, the wood used for the head was of poor quality in that there was an obvious circular grain on back of head, the left ear had not been inserted correctly (not centered and larger than right) and hair fabric from chin beard was coming through to back of neck.  I might expect this type of construction in a much less expensive product but certainly not a Steinbach.  In other words, it did not meet quality expectations, especially at price point.

Disappointed because the wood color was red versus the color in the photograph. The end product didn't seem as "finished" (had glue seeping out and other mfr quirks).

Wood quality is questionable. Some board have wood filler that crumbles away.

Cheap wood, which is kind of expected.  But I'm not a fan of getting it with corners already chipped before I had time to destroy and add my own wear and tear.  I would have returned it, but it wasn't going to expect the next one to be any better.  Outside of that, the things works well and I'm getting my use out of it.

please read the description carefully,,,,this is not made out of wood but made out of resin in china....it is heavy enough but not hand sculpted or even scuplted at all.....for that reason i am dissappointed...I am not sure why they put driftwood in the name of this product but for that reason i feel deceived and dissappointed....this product is not what i was expecting at all....

The box was damaged that it came in. The product is made from pressed wood. One of the top doors was broke where the screw had to go nd I had to use wood glue to hold it together. The instructions on how it was put together was not good.

They sent me some random log granted it is "mopani" wood my piece looked like a piece of fire wood. It was literally straight with zero curvature if it was a more expensive piece I would have def sent it straight back.

Wasn't quite the quality of wood I was hoping for, but it's cheap enough to forget about it.
