This piece matches an etagere I had previously purchased from Wayfair.  Together, they provide shelving in my small kitchen/dining area.  The slate is very convincing as faux concrete.  The frame is metal and is strong and sturdy.  My husband put this table together in about half an hour.  There was one aspect of the assembly that surprised him but wasn't a big problem (I'm sorry, I don't remember the details well enough to write them down here).  Pretty sure he needed a short screw driver to handle something that came up.  Anyway:  the finished product is exactly what I'd hoped for!
