Upon opening the box, I was pleasantly surprised to see a simple 3-step instruction page. Although there are only a few parts to assemble, it became much more complicated than I expected. The metal base of table is put together by combining pegged pieces into open pieces. The pegs were much to large to fit into the open sections, and required extensive hammering to join them. The metal base became dented from the hammering, and the grey pegs splintered as they were forced into the other sections. It looks nice now that it's together, but I'm not sure it was worth the effort.

Pros: Looks good
Cons: Hard to assemble
