Very Nice!
Color: Black, Number of Items: 1
This end table is very well made and uses good quality hardware throughout. It is assembled using cam lock nuts, wooden dowels, and Allen head bolts, which I personally prefer over standard wood screws. Cam locks stay tight over time and do not slowly work themselves loose like screws can on furniture that gets regular use, so that was a big plus for me right away.
The table arrives fully disassembled. For someone comfortable with furniture assembly, it took just over an hour to put together. The instructions are clear, well laid out, and easy to follow. I would rate the overall assembly difficulty around a 2 to 3 out of 5. Most of the process is straightforward and logical. There is only one frustrating step where you need to tighten eight bolts with an Allen wrench in a very tight space near the bottom tray. There is not enough clearance to fully rotate the wrench, so tightening those bolts takes a lot longer than it should. Other than that one section, the rest of the build went smoothly.
Once assembled, the table feels very solid and sturdy with no wobble. The finish held up well during assembly and I did not experience any scratching or chipping, which tells me it is fairly durable. The design is sturdy enough that it works well as an everyday end table without feeling delicate.
Functionally, the built in charging station works great. The power cord and outlets are convenient, and the charging base is very handy for phones and other devices. My only minor complaint is that I wish the power cord routed through the bottom of the stand instead of exiting straight out the back of the middle tray. It is not a deal breaker, but a bottom exit would make cable management a bit cleaner.
Storage space on the shelves is somewhat limited due to the design, but there is still enough room to be functional. It works well for books, small baskets, remotes, or decorative items. Just do not expect oversized storage.
Overall, this is a high quality, well designed piece with solid hardware and a clean look. If this style fits your space, I would absolutely recommend it. I am very happy with mine and would buy it again.

Beautiful end table that works well anywhere.
Color: Black, Number of Items: 1
The JUSTOGO end table immediately stands out thanks to its unique, modern design and practical features. Its rectangular shape makes it surprisingly versatile. You can position it to showcase the three open shelves for easy access and display, or use it as a narrower separation piece or traditional end table. That flexibility makes it adaptable to different rooms and layouts.
One of the most thoughtful design choices is the placement of the built-in USB ports and power outlets. Located on the middle shelf, they don’t crowd the tabletop and still remain easily accessible for charging devices. This keeps the top surface clean and fully usable while ensuring cords aren’t stretched too far.
The black finish is another plus. It’s neutral, clean-looking, and blends easily with a wide range of décor styles.
If there’s a downside, it’s the assembly process. The instructions could be clearer, and while the advertised setup time is 20 minutes, it realistically takes closer to 40. That said, assembly is a one-time task, and once it’s complete, you’re left with a sturdy, functional, and visually appealing piece of furniture. Overall, it’s a smart combination of style and utility.

Pretty good so far
Color: White, Size: 6FT (2U1C)
Perfect small size for what I was looking for, I wanted one for my standing desk (and in white for a cleaner look) that didn't take up too much space but still offered all the ports I was looking for. The clamp works great, easy to install, I like that on top it has two tiny lights to indicate that it's on and working well. Mainly I really appreciate that it came with one of those white velcro cable wrap so I can properly wrap the excess length :)

Love the small size and desk mount bracket.
Color: Black, Size: 6FT (2U1C)
Great quality and perfect size to get rid of those old bulky switches for the desk. Saves a lot of desk space for the newer smaller platform computers. Having extra charging sockets build it also frees up plug space.
