Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've been looking at various reproductions for a while now, and since other products from this firm were well reviewed, I decided to take one for the team (possibly) and report back.
As noted, the photo is somewhat misleading, as it appears to be of an actual Knoll table, or one of the Italian reproductions. The key is that graceful narrowing as the stem approaches the base, and this Lexington table does not have that; also, the "foot" of the base is a bit chunkier. However, it is far, far better than the stovepipe appearance of the Ikea and CB2 offerings. It won't be noticeable in service, so I am satisfied.
Attachment of the tabletop to the base isn't quite as elegant, either; here, we have four exposed nuts and threaded studs. Again, they're down underneath and won't be seen by anyone that isn't looking for them. I intend to find some white plastic caps to smooth over their appearance.
Quality-wise, it is good overall; no uneven textures, sags/runs, or other flaws in the finish. It is quite glossy, but that matches my knockoff tulip chairs. The fiberglass top is quite heavy, and the mounting studs weren't exactly parallel, but there was ample clearance in the matching holes in the base, so assembly was straightforward. Have someone around to help you lift the top.
The item was well-packaged, almost too well; it took some time to hack my way down to the items themselves. Base and top are boxed separately. Delivery was by FedEx Ground, who brought both items up the steps (1 flight) and in the front door.
If you are attracted by the price but are on the fence about this, and have seen other reproductions and are okay with potential tradeoffs, I think you will like it (but your Roomba won't).
