JUST opened the box to reveal our dining table. Assembly was very easy and probably took less than 10 minutes. The most difficult part was actually getting the box into the house. A few nicks and wood exposed here and there on the bottom but not to the point of compromising its structural integrity. This table is great to dress up or down and I'm so glad it came in earlier than Wayfair estimated, on time for all the holiday dinners and guests:)
