The coffee table is exactly as pictured. Took me about 4 hours to fix it but I'm someone with no experience of doing this sort of work. The instructions were pretty much clear. The only reason it took me so much time was because the glue they gave was very little and I had to go buy some more and the parts were a bit heavier for me to carry and attach as im a petite size girl. 
Rest once finished it looked fabulous. The packaging was good and none of my parts were damaged. There was few scratch in the corner but nothing major. Also the corners do not align but since it was same on all four sides it doesn't look weird. The finishing are perfect to give the table elegant look.
The height and size is perfect for my cozy living room. I loved it.
