I have wanted this table from Pottery barn for some time but would never part with the $600 they were asking for it. Imagine my delight when I found it for less than $200 at Wayfair! The time it took to assemble was a couple hours and would have been easier with a second set of hands but it can be done alone. The leaves, when extended, are perfectly flush with the top and are well supported underneath. I'm very happy with my purchase.
