Room×Lab Review · Review updated September 1, 2026
Black owners report a top that scratches and marks easily; across both finishes, owners praise the compact size, shelf and easy build
Room×Lab read all 389 distinct written reviews of the IKEA BORGEBY 27½-inch coffee table. The U.S. black and birch-veneer product pages share these reviews, which come from several countries, so counts and ratings cover both finishes. Each owner card names the finish where the review does, and says when it does not. Most owners do not say how long they had used the table when they wrote. Most of the 389 reviews give four or five stars. The cards below are picked examples, not a tally: three complaints about the black finish, one wobble report on a hard floor, and two typical five-star reviews.
Room×Lab rating: 7.6 out of 10 (medium confidence). Black owners like the look and lower shelf but report a top that shows marks and scratches; one says damp-cloth cleaning left pale marks. Across both finishes, owners average 4.36 from 389 reviews for the compact size and easy build. Isolated reports describe cracks, a weak structure or a finish that changed color.
- Assembly: Usually straightforward — Owners commonly describe a quick or solo build. Less favorable experiences involve hidden-fastener alignment, fitting the shelf between curved supports, warped parts, and isolated breakage during assembly.
- Size and fit: Well suited to compact rooms — The compact round footprint is frequently appreciated in smaller rooms and avoids sharp corners. Some owners wanted a larger or more practical tabletop.
- Durability: Mixed, with finish and structure concerns — Some owners call the table sturdy. Individual reports describe splintering, cracks, separating edges, a weak structure, or a black finish that scratched or changed color. Most owners do not say how long they have had the table. Check the edges, finish and stability when it arrives.
Before buying
Choose the black BORGEBY for a small room and a handy lower shelf if you can accept a top that shows scratches and marks; protect it from moisture and abrasion. Check the edges, the finish and any wobble on a hard floor before settling it into place.
