I purchased this end table to go along with the coffee trunk table of the same design.  It was easy go put together given that the instructions are very easy to understand.  I decided to use wood glue (not included) to make the end table stronger.  However, that is an individual choice since you don't have to use wood glue if you don't want to. The brass nails heads along with the X grove design as well as the color of the wood make this trunk look more beautiful than and pictured on the website. Roomy, attractive and, a functional piece, I highly recommend this purchase.
