Item comes in 17 pieces for assembly. Hardware includes all tools needed for assembly. Assembly started off pretty easy by getting the legs and metal rings connected. But then you get to the step where you put the bottom faux marble circle into the rings, and I noticed the table didn’t have the holes indicated on the instructions. Apparently they forgot to put those in The instructions shows there should be predrilled holes to screw a bolt to attach the base circle to the ring, but those do not exist. At least not on the one I got.
