IC INTERNATIONAL CONCEPTS Narrow End Table, Unfinished

These are wonderful, sturdy tables. We've been looking for two side tables for our couch, but most we liked were 24x24 squares, and much too big. This is the perfect size table to have on each end - long enough to fit the arm length well, but not too wide. The quality of this and other International Concepts products is wonderful - nice, solid wood. Most furniture these days is MDF, and we were thinking we'd have to find something either very overpriced or at an antique store to get real wood pieces. These are a bargain, and SO easy to assemble. Each comes with the top and drawer piece already assembled, so just screw in the four legs and then attach the self and you're done. Highly recommend.

I love this table. I originally got the triangular corner table from this same company/seller and liked it so much that I bought this one. I use them for my massage therapy business, and they fit my room perfectly. This rectangular end table is the perfect size for my hot stone warmer, towels and towel basket, and I couldn’t be happier. Very easy to put together and extremely sturdy. I like the natural look so I’m not going to paint them, but I do recommend a clear sealer if you want to keep the look like I am - since it is raw wood, any water spillage will cause the wood to get a little rough, and too much spillage overtime will cause warping (that didn’t happened to me, but I used to work in the lumber industry so I know it can happen). Overall, I couldn’t be happier with this product and this company, and I highly recommend.

This is solid wood and very sturdy. So easy to put together and turned out great with a light coat of stain. I had bought one and went back and ordered 2 more. This brand has so many pieces to choose form. Next...the coffee table!!! Worth every penny! i

Furnishing our new apartment we were having trouble finding deep but narrow side tables to use for night stands next to an adjustable bed - especially in a wood tone that would go with the rest of the room. These tables from International Concepts fit the bill perfectly from a size perspective and buying them unfinished allowed me to match the stain to the other pieces in the room. Of note: although the furniture is a tropical hardwood, it's a bit wild in the way it takes up stains. I highly recommend a pre-stain conditioner before staining the furniture. After this, the finish comes out very nicely.

As the title states this is our second purchase. This coffee table https://www.amazon.com/International-Concepts-OT-5C-Phillips-Unfinished/dp/B0029LHT02/ref=sr_1_41?keywords=table+for+international+concepts&qid=1696044250&sr=8-41 we purchased in January, 2020. These new end tables match well. Very sturdy and simple design that will last decades. We bought two of these end tables and these were sanded smoother than the coffee table. Many people mentioned in their reviews that sanding is needed prior to coating, but unlike the coffee table that needed sanding, these end table did not. I used Minwax clear satin wipe-on polyurethane for the coffee table and these end tables. I applied two coats using a 3M blue no-scratch pad in between and after final coat. Parawood is porous and with a poly coating you can expect some minor blotching. I've read many articles and reviews concerning parawood and the use of various coatings such as poly, shellac, danish oils, etc. Pretty much all info points to blotchiness when coating parawood (rubber-wood). Due to it's porous nature and grain pattern, in my opinion no amount of sanding is going to prevent some blotching. To me it's a minor issue considering the price and quality of IC's products.
