This slim end table was perfect for what I needed and has the exact modern/rustic farmhouse look I was going for! Fairly easy to assemble, but, as others have noted, the screw holes don't line up exactly which does cause some difficulties.  But once assembled it is solid and does the job perfectly! There are some tiny 'divots' in the surface of the table, but I think that is intentional to give this table a "worn" look.  But overall the surface is smooth and shiny (in fact, like others have said it is less weathered than it appears in the picture).
