I recently got my hands on the Solaround Acrylic Side Table in orange, and it's been a fun addition to my bedroom. The first thing that struck me was how vibrant the color is—it's not just translucent but has this warm, glowing effect when sunlight hits it. It feels like having a little piece of modern art by my bed.
Assembly was a breeze. Seriously, it took me less than 10 minutes. All I needed was the included hex wrench to screw in the legs (8 bolts total), and the pre-drilled holes aligned perfectly. The table came with adhesive pads for the legs, which was a nice touch to prevent scratches on my hardwood floor.
I love how lightweight yet sturdy it feels. The acrylic is thick (about ⅜ inches) and has a glass-like clarity without being fragile. That said, I did notice it wobbles slightly on hard floors—probably better suited for carpet or with added rubber grips. The rounded corners are a smart design choice; no more bruised shins when I stumble around half-asleep!
Functionally, it’s perfect for holding my morning coffee and a book, though storage space is minimal (just one shelf). But let’s be real—I bought this for the aesthetics. At $100, it’s pricey for an accent piece, but that orange glow? Worth every penny when it catches the light just right.
One heads-up: Handle with care during assembly. A few reviewers mentioned cracks or snapped legs, so don’t overtighten those bolts! Overall, if you want a conversation-starting side table that brightens up a room (literally), this is a solid pick.
