Comments

The Broby bedside table receives mixed reviews. While frequently praised for its ease of assembly, stylish design (described as Nordic, minimalist, and retro), and perceived value for money (especially at lower price points), significant concerns exist regarding its durability and quality control. The most prevalent issue is leg breakage, attributed to a weak point in the MDF or pressed cardboard material used to attach the legs to the main body. The lack of drawer runners is also a recurring complaint. Users should be aware of these potential issues before purchasing and consider methods to improve stability, such as wall-mounting. The presence of a strong chemical odor reported by multiple users also highlights potential inconsistencies in manufacturing quality. Purchasers should be aware of a potential extended period of off-gassing. The quality of the screws and the possibility of receiving pre-damaged goods has also been highlighted. Some tables have been received with missing parts or pre-existing damage, including mold. Some users have reported minor imperfections, such as scratches or glue residue on the surface of the table. The assembly process itself may be challenging for some users. The susceptibility of the tabletop to water damage is also a significant concern. The reported discrepancy between the top and drawer dimensions should be considered. The possibility of receiving tables with damaged or missing parts is a significant concern. The poor quality of the tabletop surface is also a noteworthy concern.
