EXTREMELY easy to assemble and assemble correctly/tightly.  It is very high quality and I can tell you is nicer than most of the coffee tables you'd see in a retail overpriced furniture store.  (for less than half the price)  
One reviewer nearly scared me off when they mentioned the drawers do not slide smoothly.  I can tell you I have zero issues with mine and it is very smooth.
Also seems like the wood is treated in a fashion where the splashes of water/grease do not impact it like my last coffee table.
Overall highly recommend!
