Very easy to assemble but only thing about this set of end tables is the fact they are smaller than I thought and Im talking width. The top of table size reminds me of a big novel book. Also, a few boards came scratched but was easy to hide as you put them together. You get 2 items for the price of one. They are made of wood and plastic. They are very nice once put together but I feel they are for a bedroom, den or office area and not a front room but thats my opinion. They are overall very cute and have a place at bottom to hide things out of sight. I would buy again if need be for a guest room in my home
