This classic, timeless piece was exactly as expected and easy enough to assemble. I do recommend waiting until your spouse, dad, friend, roommate, neighbor... SOMEONE is available to help you unpack/install the glass. I have never lifted something so heavy and awkward before, and all I had was a 7 year old to help! It is incredibly sturdy glass, but that makes it feel like lead weights! Once it was in place though, it looked fantastic.
