An excellent review of Open String Field Theory may be found in the paper "Analytic methods in open string field theoryAnalytic methods in open string field theory" by Yuji Okawa: https://inspirehep.net/record/1226324?ln=en. It develops the CFT formalism and, presents the Schnabl solution and the associated solutions with detailed calculations.

The following detailed lecture notes by Washington Taylor and Barton Zwiebach are also of pedagogical in nature: "D-Branes, Tachyons, and String Field Theory": [arXiv:hep-th/0311017]. Carlo Maccaferri has a succinct review of the subject which gives a broad picture and clearly introduces the CFT formalism : Basics of Open String Field Theory

Another useful review may be the one by Ehud Fuchs and Michael Kroyter: "Analytical Solutions of Open String Field Theory" hep[arXiv:hep-th/0807.47224722]. It discusses the CFT and the oscillator formalisms for covariant string field theory along with the Sen conjectures.

And if you are interested in the Berkovits formalism for superstring field theory, his ownthe following review might be useful (again I haven't studied this paper): "Review of Open Superstring Field Theory" by Nathan Berkovits - hep-th/0105230. He has developed a newer formalism but I can't think of a review article.

Hope these help, thanks!
