This end table is very sturdy and looks more expensive than it is.  I received it quickly and it was packaged well.  You have to assemble the three pieces together, but it was easy.  If it was pre-assembled with soldered base and leg joints (vs. having to place a few screws yourself), it would easily cost 2-3x more.  Not a bad gtrade-off in my opinion.  Very satisfied with this purchase.
