Room×Lab Review · Review updated August 28, 2026

One oak owner found the Mara heavy and solid; across Mara colors, marble staining and isolated wobble are the warnings

Room×Lab read all 231 distinct written owner reviews on Article’s Mara side-table listings. Article shows reviews of the oak, walnut and earlier Mara versions together, so the counts and ratings here cover the whole Mara side-table range, not the oak table alone; each owner card names the version that owner bought. Some owners describe years of good use; others describe pitting, staining or etching, finish deterioration, or a detached top. Most of the 415 ratings are five stars. The reviews below pair oak praise with the specific complaints owners raised, including one isolated safety failure report.

Room×Lab rating: 7.8 out of 10 (medium confidence). One oak owner describes a heavy, solid table that stays in place; another found the legs whiter than expected. Across all Mara colors, owners praise the compact size and easy assembly. Marble that pitted, stained or etched for some owners, one detached top and isolated wobble reports hold the score down.

  • Compact size and straightforward setup: 48 favorable size-and-fit mentions and 58 favorable assembly mentions — Many owners across Mara colors liked the small footprint and simple setup, though some found the 15.5-inch table smaller or lower than expected. One oak owner’s predrilled holes were misaligned, so the table could not be assembled as directed.
  • Usually sturdy, with isolated stability warnings: 27 favorable stability mentions — Owners commonly describe a substantial, stable feel, and one oak owner said the table stays in place. Some mixed and critical reviews raised wobble, tipping, or top-heavy behavior.
  • Natural marble demands careful use: 10 favorable durability mentions versus 10 concerns; 4 favorable care mentions versus 10 concerns — Some owners report years of good use, while others describe finish deterioration, staining or etching. One walnut top arrived pitted, then stained or etched quickly despite coasters; another walnut top detached from the base in under a year when a toddler touched it. Follow Article’s coaster-and-spill care.

Before buying

Choose the Mara Oak for a heavy, stable small table if you will use coasters and blot spills: across Mara colors, some marble tops pitted or stained, a few wobbled, and one walnut top detached in under a year. Check its 15.5-inch height against your seat.
