Super easy to assemble, I did it in just a few minutes for each table. Mine weren’t chipped or scratched like some of the other reviews. Each table came in a box which was inside a box, so maybe they’ve improved the packaging. They’re sweet and classy. A tiny but smaller than I expected, but my coasters fit perfectly in the little drawers. They’re sturdy and just the right heaight for the arm of our couch. All in all a well priced piece we’ll likely have for years!
