This table is gorgeous & high quality. I put it together myself as I'm accustomed to doing as a single female. As long as you're pretty savvy with this stuff, it's actually NOT hard. It doesn't take 2 adults - just using your smarts and having patience. Took me about 35 minutes to do it. It IS a little taller than I anticipated, but that's my fault as I didn't do any measuring to get an idea. But I will use it regardless - even if it doesn't end up on my patio. Love it!
