This is an inexpensive table, but I would say it is exactly as described. Overall, I am very happy with it considering the price. The assembly was a little difficult for me (just photo instructions, no words), but my husband set it up in a few minutes. Please note, there is a top and a bottom to the table top and it is not very obvious which is which. Also, there were no pre drilled holes or markings to indicate where to attach the base to the top, you just have to kind of eyeball it.
