The table arrived earlier than expected and was in good condition when it arrived. It looks exactly as illustrated, and was very easy to assemble. It is somewhat less sturdy than I had anticipated, which is why I only give it 4 instead of 5 stars. The stability of the table and its usefulness would be greatly increased if a second shelf was available that could be added closer to the top. I will be inquiring of the company to ask if one can be ordered.
