Arrived quickly in 2 separate boxes.  It was difficult to assemble.  The base parts are supposed to fit together, but it wasn’t cut correctly and I had to use a hammer to pound the pieces together.  This hammering took about 30 minutes and it finally went together.  Took 2 people to complete assembly.  The top is attached to the base with 4 screws...we’ll see if that stays stable for very long.  The surface scratches very easily.  For us, this is a crafting table, so it doesn’t get a lot of use and abuse and already after 2 weeks scratches already started showing up.  The color is gray with a hint of warm brown.  The wood grain is a nice touch.  The base is nice and heavy and feels solid.  Knowing all that I fo now, I’d still buy it again.
