Yet, Dunelm’s Elements Griffin Compact Bedside Table could stand out to shoppers with its impressive rating, earning an average score of 4.8 out of five from reviewers. One happy customer said: “Perfect!!! Great quality bedside tables!! lovely retro design and just what I was looking for.” Another fan wrote: “Lovely bedside unit. Solid piece. Lovely colour. Ready assembled apart from legs so in use straight away.”
Despite this, there was some mixed feedback. A different shopper loved the look of the table but found the drawer stiff to close. Sharing pros and cons, they wrote: “Excellent colour, good design. Fab colour, good looking bedside table. Heavy and sturdy and good value. The drawer is a little stiff to close.”
Someone else claimed: “Love it, looks gorgeous and very functional. All I would say is I had to have it delivered (x3 times, shout out to customer service), but the QA on this is bad.
“I broke 2 of those spanners they gave because they aren’t strong enough to do the job, and the screws were too small for the item and didn’t go on. It is also a bit flimsier than I would have wanted.”
Another shopper also struggled with assembly, writing: “Beautiful tables – hard to assemble legs though. The screws underneath the table were painted in the same colour orange as the actual table which meant screwing on the bolts were difficult, luckily we were able to make it work after a while.”
However, a contrasting review said: “Sold attractive bedside table. Easy to assemble by one person.” A different fan praised: “Great quality, quite heavy and very sturdy. Looks more expensive than it was. Great design love the shelf.”
