The assembly on this piece was a bit of a nightmare. When you open up the package, there's a ton of pieces! Luckily, my husband and I are pretty patient and work well together because we were able to get an assembly line going to get all the parts put together. Because it's made out of MDF wood, some of the hardware got stripped and weren't flush meaning that when we got to the step of placing stickers over the screws to cover them, the sticker would't stick. Moreover, the laminate wood in grey looks a little cheap. That being said, I like the structure of the table itself, especially the middle section which helps is great for storing your normal coffee table decor.
