All you have to do is screw the legs on. It takes just a few quick minutes, and you have a nice sideend table. We lightly sanded the legs and stained them to match some other furniture. Its in our kids loft space, and it is perfect. Easy to clean. I dont have to worry about them scratching up wood or leaving water rings on wood. Doesnt knock over easy. Drawer slides in and out, no problem. The drawer is perfect for the remote, extra batteries, and things like that. Nice dark gray, which is represented well in the pictures. I got this on deal for less than 30, and I couldnt be happier with how it turned out.
