This table should have not been difficult to put together, but it was a challenge! The instructions were not clear and were not complete. There were things to do in putting the table together that should have been in the instructions but were not. Several times, I was unscrewing and rescrewing -- not fun. If the instructions had been totally complete, that would have helped. The quality of the table is not the greatest, but I have it placed in a room where it is hardly noticed.
