Modway Triangle Coffee Table in Cherry

Ok, so in the same spirit as many other reviewers I'll note several things: (1) The packaging on this thing is quite robust. This is a good thing given that you're receiving a solid piece of glass that's an inch thick and while I didn't personally weigh it, has to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 lbs. The glass was packaged in its own box, which was stapled/nailed tighter than....well you get the point. On top of this, was another securely sealed box with the two legs and the axle. These two items were stacked on one another and then sealed inside of a small crate for stability. Removing the crate was the hardest part so be prepared to have a hammer or a crow bar to pry them loose. Be care though as the glass, although thick, is still glass. All this was in turn wrapped in plastic wrap, covered in bubble wrap and then wrapped again in plastic wrap. All this is to say, you'll break a sweat getting this thing out of it's packaging, and if you don't have a hammer (like we did) then you'll just be S.O.L. (2) The glass is thick and heavy, so have at least one person help you move it on top of the legs. Speaking of the legs, I thought they would be a heavier wood, but they may just be walnut veneer. This doesn't detract from the overall quality or feel of the table. It definitely looks like the real thing. (3) I didn't receive any instructions on how to put the item together, but if you can manage to order the table online, you should, with a bit of trial and error, figure out how to attach the legs. If you can't, kill yourself. (4) Once we got the glass on the legs, the glass had a tendency to slide around a bit. Picture Tom Cruise from risky business in his tighty whities. We solved this problem by taking a couple of plastic thingys you put underneath a cabinet to make it level (I'll add pictures eventually) on the existing plastic thingys already attached to the legs. If you don't mitigate this, the glass will slide off at the slightest touch, most likely chipping or breaking the glass (this is especially true if you live and/or hang out with alcoholics). Final Thoughts: The table looks great. I have encountered a real table and the average consumer/house guest will not be able to discern a difference. Read more

Great replica table, glass top is thick and sturdy and has the same greenish hue that a Noguchi from DWR would have. The base connects well, the wood looks great (its solid wood, not laminate), the only thing seperating this table from an actual Noguchi is the signature on the glass and the plaque on the bottom. I should note however that the packaging for this table was not sturdy enough, or maybe mine was run through a wood chipper. Im talking wooden frame destroyed, box looked like it had tire marks on it, absolutely wrecked. The 100 pound glass top (yes, get a friend to help move it) only had a small chip on one corner, I was able to return it for a full refund and not pay return shipping. Only reason I'm removing a star was due to the poor shipping. Read more

Very high quality and easy to assemble. Never in my life have I received a product packaged and protected as well as this table! The glass is indeed 3/4 inches thick, as described, and the cherry finish on the legs is outstanding. It's more of a medium cherry color. Everyone who has seen my new table loves it! It is also cat approved. One of my cats likes to sit right in the middle and watch TV. He's a big cat and this table is very sturdy and doesn't move when he jumps up on it. Nor does it move when I shoo him off and he takes off! I have no regrets whatsoever with the purchase of this item. Read more

I have a H.Miller "original" Noguchi table. While moving it, I broke the glass. Replacement from local glass vendors was in the $700 range. I am very pleased with the glass in this table. It is almost identical to the original (it has a slight bevel on its edges, the original had none) and well worth the price. The table base is OK but doesn't really compare well to the original. I think it is solid wood but stained a cherry color; I don't think it's actually cherry wood. The pieces are held together by a long threaded steel rod and it has very small plastic feet. The H.Miller version has no visible holes so you can"t really figure out how it's put together. (there is an internal piece that holds the wood and the base looks like a single natural piece of wood, no plastic feet, no drill holes.) That said, this is a great deal for a classic look, and well worth it. Plus with free shipping and crazy good packaging, it's a steal. Read more

I could not love this table more!! It's astonishing that such a high quality knock-off could be priced this low. I have friends who have a "real" Noguchi, and I swear this copy makes the same overall impact as the "original." It took about 45 minutes to wrest the thing out of its ridiculously epic packaging (packing tape, bubble wrap, wood, some really annoying styrofoam) -- which is actually good, because it's packed to arrive undamaged. And it took an additional 10 minutes for me to locate the single long screw that's necessary to assemble the table (taped unobtrusively to one of the legs). There are no assembly instructions, which was annoying, but it's pretty easy and once I googled images of the table, it was easy to see how the thing should look. The glass table top is thick and HEAVY, so even though it simply rests on top of the "legs" with no actual attachment, don't worry about it sliding around. I'm more than thrilled with this purchase, and if you're considering buying one, just do it. Trust me -- you'll be glad you did. Read more
