We bought the coffee table & matching end table. I worked out the assembly instructions on the end table, so the coffee table was a breeze (have your own adjustable wrench for the bolts - the one included is hard to grip in the small spaces). For sure, have someone help with the shelf installation - it doesn't take long, just hard to hold in place alone. I wish the bead-board detail extended around to the drawer side, which is plain. We wanted something to contrast with our new hardwood floors & smaller to eliminate the clutter that accumulates on horizontal surfaces. Good choice. Delivery was quick, less than a week.
