This is a beautiful table and arrived just as pictured.  Assembly was easy with 2 people and took less than 15 minutes.  I was nervous because the screws were loose in the box instead of in a baggie.  I thought some were missing, but I found some embedded in the styrofoam.  I found no damage to the table, so I was relieved.  The table top is sturdy when it is up and closes flush with no bounce.  I gave 4 out of 5 for the noise the top makes when it's moving up and down.  It is a very loud clanking/springing sound.  I don't know if it will lessen over time.
