I assembled this end table myself. It’s been a while since I have assembled anything, so I did perpetrate some missteps along the way. It helps self-assembly go better if you are very observant of the parts and the various arrangements of those parts according to the directions, which can be tricky. 

I actually messed up a few times and had to disassemble and reassemble a few things. I was pleased that the directions had good drawings of correct assembly. And even though I had to redo a few things, the wood parts are solid and strong, which helps a lot if you have to backtrack and redo a section. 

I will say that I was expecting a brighter blue color per website pics, but the actual color is a darker greenish blue. Still, the color matches well with my couch, and maybe this more subdued color could be better for me, anyway. They should fix the website pics though, because there are probably people who would like this more subdued color and pass it up. Just sayin’
