Nice design and finish - except for how the top attaches to the frame.
Like several other reviewers, I too had problems with the cam locks on this table that secure the top to the frame. The ones included in the package are the cheapest dinky little pieces of zinc and are absolutely worthless - luckily, they're a standard size so both Lowes and Home Depot have actual steel replacements in store that will work. The cam bolts thread into plastic inserts that are inserted into holes drilled in the underside of the top piece, but the holes are too deep so not only are the inserts at uneven depths, but if you aren't careful your cam bolts will go too deep and cause the top to crack - or worse, the cam bolts will bust through the top. This forces you to guess as to how far to screw in the cam bolts - too little and the cam locks don't lock tightly, too far and either the cam locks won't engage at all, or if they do engage you'll snap the cam locks in a heartbeat. To add insult to injury, if you screw the cam bolts in too far, this deforms the plastic inserts, so when you back the cam bolts out, they no longer have enough thread in the plastic to grab onto and will just pop out of the top. Very frustrating, and the manufacturer seriously needs to rethink this design - or at minimum, tighten their tolerances so there's no guessing as to how deeply to install the cam bolts for a perfect fit.Still, the rest of the table is pretty good, and it does look super sharp when fully assembled. I really like that it's all solid wood and not particle board / MDF, though it seems to be a softer wood. As a bonus for me, it perfectly matches the Mission-style entertainment center I purchased a decade ago, with a kinda reddish-brown stain color. That's all enough to earn it an extra star, despite it's problems, instead of just one. But seriously, if you get this, expect to either be extremely careful with setting the proper depth for the cam bolts, or to give up in frustration and find another method to secure the top. I'm currently considering using corner braces with short screws to get the job done. If you want it to go together perfectly without fiddling... this most likely isn't the table for you, unfortunately.

Inconsistent quality.
I really wanted to love this table. The dimensions are perfect for my room and it can be easily assembled. However, the first table shipped to me had it's tabletop corner broken off and reattached awfully. I asked for a replacement. The second table shipped to me had the tabletop scratched all over and edges scrapped. Quality control issues. I'll have to ship both back and look for better products.

over time
I liked this at first but it is not intended for humid climates. I live in Hawaii and after 3 months the top and shelf started to separate. What I found was the wood vaneer is the only wood there, the body is made out of some form of super compressed card board...which absorbs water well....I bought the whole set side tables etc. The end came when they started supporting mildew and I hauled them to the dump.I bought solid wood un-finished and did that myself.

Great look, great value
Can't beat it for the money. The Sierra line is nicely made. My only complaints about this table are that it isn't quite as tall as I'd like and that (haven't put it together yet) I anticipate having the same problem getting the cams to lock as I have had with the others. Ours is an adult-only household, though, and, unless someone actually tries to lift the top off, the screws seated into the cam holes are enough to keep it in place. Not sure exactly whether the problem is the size of the cam holes, the depth of the screws, or what. Would suggest pushing a bit of steel wool into the cam to help it to grip and lock, if that is the main problem, or purchasing replacement cams/screws at a big box store, if the problem is the size of the cam holes. Even if you have to go to that extreme, this product is still a good deal for the money. Would recommend highly to anyone wanting an authentic Mission look.

Too frustrating for me
although this is a very pretty coffee table I will never buy anything from this company again. What should have been a simple matter of about 30 minutes screwing in some screws has now taken us 3 hours and the table is still not together. The directions are short but make no sense, nothing lines up and the locking cams DO NOT LOCK, I was so looking forward to having this coffee table in my home and now I am so frustrated I am ready to send it back. If you have a lot, and I do mean a lot, of time to waste on assembling a piece of furniture then this is the coffee table for you. However, if you have more fun and exciting things to do then don't waste your time or money on this. OSP Designs Sierra Coffee Table a piece of furniture then

Sturdy table
With the exception of securing the top piece of the table, assembly was easy. The table is quite stable and I would reorder it again. I looked at several different vendors before purchasing this product because I didn't want to invest in anything too expensive and this fit my needs.

It will do
It came damaged in the box with a silver dollar sized chip in a corner. I put it together anyway (it's the first week of the Covid virus lockdown) and I am using it with the damage. Otherwise, while it is a bit on the cheaply made side, it is a doable match(for now) with my authentic Mission style furniture. It is an acceptable and necessary piece of furniture.

Much smaller than I expected...
As with other reviews, the cam locks did not work... I had to glue the top onto the base. This coffee table looks like a child's toy, much smaller than a regular sized table. I've seen this exact same table on several different websites, but Amazon was best price. I'll use it until I find something better.
