Assembly is a breeze, there wasn’t any just open up like a folding table. Very sturdy, looks great. Three star rating is because the first table sent was destroyed in the box. Wayfair and the distributor responded quickly to resolve the issue however I had to return the original table to a fedex pickup center so I wasn’t charged for a second table. I’m a senior citizen and had to ask a neighbor for a favor. There was no pickup when dropping off the replacement. I was skeptical to accept a second table but it was perfect.
