Retrovie Mid-Century Storage Coffee Table vs JOINICE Round Coffee Table with Storage

The Retrovie is the better pick for a living room centerpiece: it is a wide 47-inch rectangular table with drawers and a large top, and owners like its mid-century look and solid wood legs. The JOINICE is really a pair of small round side tables (about 19 inches across, 23.6 inches tall) with a sliding-door compartment, so it suits tight spaces and use as a side or sofa table rather than a full coffee table. On build, both mix solid wood legs with veneer or plywood, and both draw complaints about assembly time and softer panels. The Retrovie has fewer ratings but a slightly higher average; the JOINICE has far more ratings and a lower one.

  • Choose the Retrovie if you want a full-size rectangular coffee table with drawers and a broad top for a sofa-facing living room.
  • Choose the JOINICE if you need compact round tables with hidden storage for a small room, apartment or reading corner.

What reviewers say

Retrovie Mid-Century Storage Coffee Table

  • 4.4 / 529 ratings

Owners rate it well overall and mostly talk about its looks and the solid wood legs. Complaints center on the veneer and particle board build, darker-than-pictured wood tone and long assembly.

What people mention
  • DesignPraisedBuyers find the mid-century look attractive and say it fits their decor.
  • BuildCriticisedThe veneer is thin and can peel, and the particle board underneath feels soft.
  • Wood toneMixedOwners say the finish is darker in person than in the photos.
  • AssemblyMixedInstructions and videos are clear, but setup still takes one to two and a half hours or more.

JOINICE Round Coffee Table with Storage

  • 4.2 / 5630 ratings

Owners rate it around 4.2 out of 5 across 630 ratings. Most praise the walnut look and the useful hidden storage; the recurring gripes are assembly effort and the plywood build feeling lighter than expected.

What people mention
  • FinishPraisedBuyers like the warm walnut look and say it fits mid-century and modern rooms.
  • StoragePraisedThe sliding-door compartment is called handy for remotes, books and small clutter.
  • AssemblyCriticisedOwners say fitting the legs and aligning the door takes time and patience.
  • BuildMixed

Questions and answers

Which is better as a main coffee table?
The Retrovie. Its 47-inch rectangular top and standard coffee table height work in front of a sofa. The JOINICE tables are 23.6 inches tall and about 19 inches wide, which is side-table height.
Which has more storage?
The Retrovie, with full-width drawers under a large top. The JOINICE has a single hidden compartment behind a sliding door, which holds less.
Which is built better?
The JOINICE uses a solid wood frame and legs with a plywood body. The Retrovie uses solid wood legs but veneer over particle board, and owners report peeling and soft panels.
Which is easier to assemble?
The JOINICE, since only the legs need fitting. Retrovie owners report assembly taking 1 to 2.5 hours or longer.
Is the JOINICE worth stepping up to over the Retrovie?
Only if you want compact round tables or a side table. For a full living room coffee table with drawers, the Retrovie fits the job better.
Do owners complain about either?
Yes. Retrovie owners cite thin veneer, dark wood tone and long assembly. JOINICE has fewer detailed reports, but its small size and height limit its use.
