A little smaller than I expected, but that's because spatial relations aren't my strong suite. The wood is beautiful, and the table looks exactly like the picture. I put it together myself, probably somewhere between 90 minutes and 2hrs total (unsure because I took a long break halfway through). I think some of the pre-drilled holes weren't drilled through all the way, but I didn't need anything more than a screwdriver to overcome that. The instructions were straightforward for me, but then I'm used to putting together IKEA and Target furniture. I think I'd buy this one again - the only thing that remains to be seen is how well it holds up over time
