Could not put together as directed. I tried three times but found it impossible. I took out some of the pegs and screws  so it would fit together.  It may hold but who knows. There were inadequate written directions. Lots of pictures which I usually appreciate but it didn’t fit together as shown.  It is very heavy and solid. The finish is smooth and  has a nice appearance.  I may drill into the top if it gets too wobbly , so I can stabilize it.
