The table is beautiful and solid. It took almost two hours to assemble, first because assembly of furniture is not my best shill and the holes for the dowels were too small. I have no drill so but tried to make the holes wider with a Phillips screwdriver but that did not work so I cut up some chopsticks to use as dowels. Unfortunately when I put the wire bracket in last it was backwards but too much trouble to take apart and reassemble. Nevertheless I give the product 5 stars as it is beautiful and well made. I would order again if I needed another one.
