UPDATE: The brick and mortar store is closing in June 2025. However, furniture will still be available online via Etsy or www.theappelshop.com
I'd been looking for an end table for my family room when I stumbled upon the Appel Shop products via Etsy. I liked what I saw, so I saved a couple of their tables in my favorites on the Etsy website for a few months. When I was ready to order the table, I did so via Appel's website so 100% of the profits would go directly to the business rather than having a percentage of it going to Etsy.
I ordered the West End/Side table and customized the colors to match the rug I have in the room. The description on the website says 5-board table, so I requested five colors on the customization form. I requested the following colors: natural, blue beach, rustic sage, and dark walnut. They sent a mockup of several different options, and I chose the one I liked the best. I chose the 23x17in table which cost about $450.
The table took about five weeks to arrive. I ordered it on April 26th, and it arrived on June 7th. It was packaged well and easy to assemble. The package contained both written instructions and a YouTube link for those who prefer visual instructions. I was able to put the table together in just a few moments.
I can't say that I'm in love with a couple of the color choices, but overall I'm pleased. If I ordered another table from Appel, I'd probably stick with basic colors as opposed to a non-traditional color like green or blue. The quality of the table is top-notch, and I can't say enough about the craftsmanship. read more
