VERY. Tedious. To put. Together.  It took me probably 3 hours on my own to put together, but honestly pretty worth it to see the final project. A few screw holes didn’t line up properly, and there were one or two dentsscratches. It’s really honestly worth the buy. The table feels pretty sturdy but still has some give to it I’ll be leaving mine down to act as a type of bar cart. The only other reason for four stars is that the white board (at least the black version) doesn’t really show dry erase markers very well. I haven’t tried it with a white marker, so maybe that’s the difference. All in all . . . Beautiful and worth the buy.
