This is one of the easiest pieces of funiture I ever put together. All you have to do is just screw on the four legs and whalla, you have a coffee able! It was inexpensive and serves its purpose. It is very lightweight which makes it easy to move around if needed. This is not solid wood, but for the price I think it will last as long as it is treated with kindness. The dark wood gives it a richer look and it looks good with the new sofa I just got delivered from Wayfair.
