Test result preview
The X-shaped table frame from Provenedi is solidly made from high-quality steel and neatly produced in an X-shape. The weight and solid stability are immediately noticeable when unpacking. The pre-drilled holes for the table tops are chip-free and clean, making it easy to fit a table top using the screws supplied. To improve the product even more, the use of sustainable packaging material would be desirable.
Advantages
- Solid steel workmanship
- Proper pilot holes
- Standardised processing
Disadvantages
- No use of sustainable packaging material
The first impression
Packaging and contents
Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

When checking the product during unpacking, it was found that the cardboard box is sufficiently sturdy and more than adequately protects the solid table legs. Styrofoam was used, which is not sustainable , but is necessary for good protection during transport. The contents of the packaging were complete, the assembly of a table top on the table legs is self-explanatory, so that even people without manual skills can build a table at any time.

Overall, the product makes a very stable impression; no information is provided about the sustainability of the product. However, it can be assumed that the table frame can be used in the long term.

In the practical test, the scope of delivery was checked first so that a table top could be assembled immediately. All product components were present. No movement or wobbling could be detected during the stability test, so that a meal for four to six people could be placed on the table without any problems. No bending or deformation was possible due to the steel used. Overall, the steel was found to be very stable and solid. Noises, squeaking or creaking were not perceived at any time.

At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.
Prices of up to €165.99 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €59.99 . The X-shaped table frame from Provenedi® is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €89.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
