Made of some serious wood!  Very solid feel to the table.  Assembly was not difficult  We selected the tall size because we put table lamps on these, and the lamps give better lighting and look more appropriate at this higher level.  The only reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is that the small "foot" might make it more susceptible to being knocked over, and limits how much one can put on the table.  Maybe being too picky here.
