Room×Lab Review · Review updated August 28, 2026

Walnut Mara owners praise its small-space fit and quick setup; marble scratches, stains and etching are their most common complaint

Room×Lab read 110 distinct written owner reviews out of the 147 ratings on Article's Walnut listing (4.33 stars on average). Some older reviews shown there come from Article's earlier listing of this same table, and none is marked as the separately sold Oak finish. Most are older reviews (106; 4 are recent). Where the reviews below state a period of use, it runs from several months to more than a year. The reviews below show the main praise and complaints owners describe, plus one rare failure shown for completeness.

Room×Lab rating: 7.2 out of 10 (limited confidence). Walnut Mara owners rate it 4.33 stars across 147 ratings and praise its compact fit, solid feel and easy setup. The caveats: their most common complaint is marble that scratches, stains, etches or chips in ordinary dining, the angled legs can crowd chairs, and support helped some owners but not others.

  • Compact-space fit: 43 favorable mentions; 7 concerns — Owners favor it for condos, studios and breakfast nooks, and some seat four despite its small footprint. Some concerns are about the closely spaced legs: one owner returned the table because chairs could not pull close enough for daily dining.
  • Assembly: 28 favorable mentions; 5 concerns — Most owners describe assembly as quick and straightforward. The few concerns involve difficult bolts, loose hardware or wobbling, and one owner had to retighten the bolts periodically.
  • Surface durability: 11 favorable mentions; 22 concerns — Some owners call the table solid and well made, but twice as many mentions report scratches, etching, watermarks, stains or chips. One owner saw scratching and water marks within several months of ordinary dining, and support called the damage expected for marble.

Before buying

Choose the Mara for a marble-topped table in a small nook if you will use coasters and wipe spills at once, because owners report scratches, etching and watermarks. Check that your chairs clear the angled legs.
