This table looks just like it does in the picture. What looks like tiles around the table is actually painted designs on the side panels. 

Assembly instructions are very clear, I could assemble most of it alone, however for the last couple steps, you would need an extra set of hands. Lift mechanism is smooth and fits perfectly. 

The reason I knocked off two stars is because the table is completely made out of particle board except for the solid wood legs. The description states wrongly as wood, which is misleading. I probably wouldn't have bought it if it was stated as manufactured wood. But that's just a personal preference.
