I LOVE this table. First of all, the tabletop is as heavy as real marble so you'll definitely need two people (or one strong muscle person) to lift the thing onto the base to attach it. The assembly could not have been easier: 4 bolts, 4 washers and one Allen wrench. The base delivers in one box and the tabletop delivers in another. The packaging was more secure than a bank heist gone well. There was not a scratch on either piece. The dimensions, the balance, the look are all 100% what I was hoping for and I'm so excited to host dinners in my apartment. I can easily seat 4 people (or 5 small people) comfortably here (I bought the 35.5" table). Thank you Wayfair! (Not an ad, I paid full price, which was a fraction of what other tables at other retailers are charging.)
