It was a little bit of a nuisance to put together as the instruction images did not match the pieces. Other than that, the table is a gorgeous addition to our kitchen. We thought the dimensions were a bit low in height and figured it had to have been a mistake. It was not a mistake, and this table is not a standard height in which we are used to. It does still work perfectly as we waited to purchase chairs exactly for this reason. Some reviews stated how they were able to assemble it themselves (one person). My husband assembled it himself however it is heavy and 2 people are required to flip it.
