Room×Lab Review · Review updated August 28, 2026

Beam owners across both sizes praise the slim footprint and sturdy build, but individual tables arrived cracked, dented or scratched

Room×Lab read all 169 distinct written reviews from verified owners on Thuma's Beam Side Table page, submitted from February 2024 through July 2026. Thuma shows one set of reviews for both Beam sizes and all finishes, and some reviews also describe larger Thuma orders, so the counts below cover the whole Beam line, not the Standard alone. Of the 169 reviews, 150 give five stars. The reviews below show the main complaints owners raised next to two detailed five-star accounts, so they do not reflect how often each experience comes up.

Room×Lab rating: 8.1 out of 10 (medium confidence). Beam owners, across both sizes and all finishes, praise its compact fit, solid build and arrival fully assembled. The caveats: some tables arrived with cracked tops, dents or scratches, a few owners found it too low, and reviews say little about wear over several years.

  • A strong fit for small rooms: 35 favorable mentions; 3 concerns — Owners repeatedly valued the slim footprint in narrow bedrooms and tight spots near doors. The few concerns were that the table sits too low or holds less than hoped. Counts cover reviews across both Beam sizes and all finishes, not Standard buyers alone.
  • Generally solid, with isolated arrival damage: 8 favorable mentions; 9 concerns — Owners describe a sturdy table, yet individual tables arrived with a large crack in the top (one of two in an order, after a two-month wait), dents, scratches, thin finish in places, or wrinkled surfaces. These are individual reports across both sizes and all finishes, not a damage rate.
  • Support often resolves problems, but follow-through varies: 13 favorable mentions; 2 concerns — Replacement experiences were often favorable: one owner who sent photos of a cracked top had a satisfactory replacement within a week. Another, happy with the table itself, reported delayed shipping, inconsistent tracking and support that needed repeated follow-up. Counts cover reviews across both Beam sizes and all finishes.

Before buying

Choose the Standard if its 20" height suits your bed or sofa and you want a slim table that arrives assembled. Check the top and finish on arrival, photograph any crack or scratch for a claim, and confirm the current return window before ordering.
