This glass coffee table was super easy and quick to assemble. I was slightly disappointed that the longer sides of the rectangular glass top weren't cushioned as well as the inner portions of the shipping box. I noticed long, very thin slivers of glass in the packaging and soon realized it came from one side of the glass top. However, the damage isn't easily noticeable and the glass edge is still smooth to the touch, so it won't hurt anyone. But a good 14 inches of one side of the glass top has a beveled edge now due to that breakage during shipping, so one star is deducted for that. I still love the table though, it's a nice addition to my living room.
