I am very disappointed with this table! I was happy with the looks of it as I removed it from the box, but it didn't assemble well at all! The 4 curved braces that secure the bottom "X" bace to the center column were very difficult to line up with the pre-drilled holes. Two of the four braces curves aren't consistent with the others, and one of them is almost 1/2" longer than the others. I am fairly proficient at assembly- this is not my first rodeo as I am an interior designer and have been dealing with/selling/refurbishing/rigging  furniture for 25 years at least. My husband helped me wrangle with it enough to get all of the bolts in without having to drill my own holes.  Once the base was assembled, we attached the top, turned it upright- and it is not even close to level (off by a little over 3/4") - looks ridiculous! I am giving a one star rating only because it is relatively attractive and it has a nice, heavy rustic top.
