The coffee table took longer than expected to arrive, but Wayfair sent me regular updates, which was nice. It arrived packaged very well, and was surprisingly easy to put together--I did it alone in less than half an hour. It comes in three pieces: the top, one long leg section, and one short leg section, and it feels completely solid and sturdy. The coffee table is even nicer in person than it looks in the picture. It's a very graceful oval, and just the right size for in front of my sofa. Although the description says it is made from "manufactured wood," it certainly looks and feels like solid hardwood to me. It's a very pretty color somewhere between a chestnut and cherry stain with a beautiful grain on the tabletop. The brass accents on the legs are darker and more subdued (and nicer!) than they appear in the photo.
