Was very excited to open the really well packed box. All materials in perfect shape. All pieces accounted for. Instructions very clear. I was worried about staining the parawood and opted to apply just clear poly because this table was very nice. Be sure to wipe off the wood dust from the pieces. It doesn't look dusty but it is. The sanding and finish work on the wood is perfect. The hardware was great quality as well. The only minor nit is that the shelf support system is a little clunky.
