Easy to assemble. Less than half an hour for both of them. Unfortunately, one black wire shelf came super bent (which was odd, the other pieces were undamaged). I had to pound it back into shape just so the screws could align with the holes. Both end tables rock slightly and unscrewing the bottom screws then makes a slight metallic noise since the screw is now loose. So now I'll have to buy some felt bottoms to get rid of the rocking problem.
