Love the table but we added a  poly finish to protect it and make it look more finished. We didn't have any problems assembling the legs. We used a drill and pre-drilled the holes a little more to help the screws go in better.  The markings for the legs were not centered so the table was a little tipsy. We moved one leg and it is much better.  With a little bit of work this table is beautiful and the price is very reasonable.
