The table itself is stunning. Solid wood on top. Black metal legs (I had not expected metal legs but it is not an issue). Despite being straightforward assembly, it was not easy! One of the legs went in on the first try, one needed a little bit of finagling, but the last one was a big nuisance! It took several attempts and slight changes in the angle i was screwing it in to get it just right. It was annoying but I am happy with the final product.
