I wanted something with real wood (no chip board here at all) and more of a rustic/rough look.  Wow, these fit the decor perfectly.  Love the wood, the imperfection feel, the stain and the build of these.  All you do is connect the legs.   Easy instructions and assembly.  The wood for the lower tier table is thinner but not the knock others give it in reviews.  This item in a store would be $100-150 more easy ... and I would have paid it.  I bought the matching table to this and it is of the same quality.  All items were packed very solid.
