Room×Lab Review · Review updated September 12, 2026

Walnut Mika owners like the hidden storage, but drawers that open only partway and a stiff upper drawer are common complaints

Room×Lab read 276 distinct written reviews of the Mika Side Table in walnut on Castlery's product page, averaging 4.8 stars. Owners use it beside beds and seating, in reading nooks, rental properties and an office; one designer placed it for clients. Reviews come from the US, Australia, Singapore and the UK and date from 2020 to 2026, so older or overseas reviews may describe a slightly different version. The longest use any owner reports is almost two years. Comments about burl-wood Mika models and matching furniture are left out. The reviews below show typical praise, the longest-use report, the most common drawer complaint and rarer finish and delivery problems.

Room×Lab rating: 7.3 out of 10 (limited confidence). Walnut Mika owners give it 4.8 stars across 276 reviews, praising its curves, color and concealed storage. Drawers that extend only partway and a stiff upper drawer are the recurring complaints; damaged veneer and a chipped top are isolated reports. Based on owner reviews, without hands-on testing.

  • Storage capacity does not guarantee easy access: 7 favorable mentions; 11 critical mentions — Owners describe useful space for remotes, throws, books and other belongings, alongside restricted extension, rounded interiors and awkward openings. One owner still fills the drawers easily despite estimating half-extension.
  • Soft closing can coexist with stiff opening: 9 favorable mentions; 15 critical mentions — Owners praise lower-drawer push opening and smooth or quiet closing, while upper-drawer opening resistance recurs. One braces the table to pull a drawer; another struggles to grip it from bed. Some owners simply wish the upper drawer also opened with a push.
  • Encouraging quality impressions, limited proof of lasting finish: 5 favorable mentions; 3 critical mentions — Positive accounts include almost two years of continued satisfaction and a few months of successful use. Critical reports describe veneer that arrived damaged or poorly adhered and, separately, a chipped top and light color stripping with no timing given, some within favorable ratings.

Before buying

Choose Mika for its curved walnut form and concealed storage if its footprint suits your room and you can accept drawers that open only partway and a stiff upper drawer. Check veneer, top and feet on arrival, and confirm Castlery's return and repair terms.
