It is lovely and not that hard to put together though instead of 12 washers, only 11 were included.   It is a little high, 31" and that is what the specs. indicate.  I did not read them.  Because of the way it is constructed I don't see a way to make it a little shorter.  Also it is a little wobbly on top when I use it for my bridge group.  I don't think there is a remedy for that as it is resting on one center stand.  The top is an interesting grain.  I used a lemon oil on it, and all in all is is a lovely table.
