Modway Lippa 36" Mid-Century Dining Table with Round Artificial Marble Top in White

I have had nightmare stories of no-returns, freight troubles, etc. So, let me get out of the way now: THIS PIECE IS TERRIFIC. It was just what I wanted, and the quality exceeded expectations. I will hopefully help others with some advice on the delivery and assembly.First, this piece came by freight delivery. The total weight of the item is 244 lbs. Not including packaging. This last part is important. The piece comes disassembled on a wood palette and the boxes are framed with wood, adding considerable size and weight to the packaging.The freight company called and asked whether I wanted white glove service. WARNING: this company's white glove is to bring the pieces up an elevator to the 4th floor, bring into the apartment, remove and dispose of packaging, BUT NOT ASSEMBLE THE UNIT, for a whopping $150. Since we had a dolly, and my sons could help, we declined the service.The unit came and the freight guys brought it in on a pallet. I looked at the size of the pallet and I said they should have let us know -pallets like that don't fit into elevators. I got them to, reluctantly, take the pallet with them and leave the boxes.I will repeat that the unit and base together are 240 lbs. The base is probably only about 40 lbs. of that, so know that the table top is both large, heavy and awkward.**If you are dealing with stairs or elevators and don't have help, take the white glove service.** You will still face a challenge assembling the unit but you won't potentially injure yourself carting it up.Once we transported the crates into the apartment, we noticed that one side of the crate had staples connecting the wood and the other has screws. Place the staple side facing down so that we could easily unscrew the wood crate protecting the top (otherwise you'll need a crowbar or long clawed hammer and there will be lots of muscle involved).Once the top was unpacked, we placed it bottom side up and unpacked the base. (Note that the plastic hardware bag was broken so make sure you have all the hardware before discarding the bag.) We placed the base upright near the top and then I lifted the top on end and flipped and lowered it to on the base while my son held the base steady. If you have two adults, then you can simply deadlift the top and lower it on the base.Assembly was simply screwing the 4 bolts into the bottom of the base and to the top with the included Allen wrench.Be aware that the one big downside here is the amount of packing material that needs to be discarded (2 huge boxes worth). Some of it is recyclable, but a lot of it is Styrofoam, which stinks. Also, in breaking down the crate, you will have wood with lots of exposed, sharp staples, so, again, that might recommend the white glove service for some people who don't want to break down crates.Overall, I was impressed by the care taken to package the unit, and as I said, the table is terrific. No one can tell this isn't real marble. The pattern is perfect (no pixelation as someone else mentioned). I would totally recommend this piece!Hope this helps others.

I bought the real marble 48 inch version. When it arrived, it came with a fiberglass base and not a cast aluminum like the description says. The bottom edge of the base was cracked and the white gloss finish was all rough and sloppy around the bottom edge. The top was real marble, however they apply some sort of plastic like coating on top of it which takes all the deep gloss away from it. Also, it was streaky in one spot when looked at with daylight shining on it. The marble underneath was beautiful, just a shame they coated it instead of just polishing and sealing it.So I could have just exchanged it for another but there was one big issue with it that was unacceptable to me. The base which was fiberglass, can't support the heavy marble top and it actually flexes when you lean on the table. It is not stiff. So when anyone leans on it or does and thing it flexes, almost like a table with a short leg. That was the deal breaker. The table needs to be rock solid. I ordered one from a different manufacture that has real polished marble and a cast aluminum base that is rock solid.Oh, it seems depending on which top you get, dictates if you get aluminum or fiberglass base. Its hard to tell if the fiberglass base is an old version or maybe the newest version.Between the plastic like coating on the real marble, the flexing fiberglass base and the damage from the factory (shipping boxes were perfect) , I decided this brand wasn't for me.

Very nice table and we got the perfect size (40") to fit our kitchen/living and accommodate our family of almost four. Fast delivery, very well packaged, easy to assemble, easy to clean after small children and has a beautiful look in this all white combination. Love it!

This table is absolutely perfect. I searched online for about a month trying to find this table for the best price and size. This table is very sturdy and can fit up to six people. My only complaint would be the delivery company (AM) because this table was not easy to track and they did not communicate with me well. Also, the two men that delivered the table dropped on of the boxes on his way into my house. Thank goodness nothing was broken. In all, great price and great product.

So lets get this out of the way - its a knock off. Or, more kindly put - a reproduction.Thats fine though. It looks 95% as good.Lets talk about the top, its solid marble at 1/2 inch thick or so - with good grain and good quality. This is honestly what 75% of your money goes toward. The base, it is aluminum as best as I can tell (don't quote me on this). Nice felt padding on the floor portion, good paint... looks great. The only issue with the base is the underside you could see if you were the floor (lol) is not finished... but who cares.Finally, here is where you see its a knock off and the quality is not 100% the same - but you shouldnt care. The portion that goes between the base and the marble top is a circular piece of wood. No problem, but it is poorly sanded (rough!) and clearly spray painted. This doesnt look great. But, are you seriously ever going to be below 20 inches from the ground to stare at this? Worst case, you could easily clean this up with some fine sand paper and paint, but you DO NOT need to do this, trust me. The most important parts are finished perfectly.I have zero regrets, and this comes from someone that purposely buys "the real thing" usually. But for this space I couldn't justify the 800+ for a new Knoll piece. You are buying a good quality piece - you will not regret it for the price.I would not hesitate to buy another Lexmod product after getting this item.
