I love the look of this table! The only assembly necessary is to attach the 4 legs, but I have to admit it took me quite a while. The 2 legs located near the lift-top hinge were really hard for me. You have to have one hand on the inside of the table and one on the outside, and this area was kind of cramped and hard to fit my hand in. It would have been much easier with another person helping but I didn't want to wait.
