The coffee table arrived well packaged. It is very sturdy. However, the instructions leave MUCH to be desired. I've never left anything less than a four-start review on Wayfair's products, and most items definitely have earned a five-star review. It's the assembly instructions that were the issue as I put this together. They started out just fine, but when it came to assembling the interior workings of the table, the drawings were very small and very hairy. I've assembled chicken houses and a very large greenhouse more easily than this unassuming piece of furniture. It's a quality product, for sure. But the manufacturer may want to redesign the mid- to latter part of the instructions, in my very humble opinion. Nevertheless, thank you, Wayfair!
