I purchased 2 of these tables to use as sofa tables in our basement.  Initially, I was concerned about issues with putting them together (having seen that in other reviews) as well as the quality of the materials (both look and durability).  Once they arrived, they did take a decent amount of time to assemble (2 1/2 hours for the first, 1 1/2 hours for the second), but the process wasn't overly complicated (just a lot of pieces).  I am impressed with how the tables look, especially for the price.  Although these are not real wood, they have a great color variation and "wood grain" to mimic the look very well.  They are heavy and seem as though they will hold up for a while.  We will not be using them daily, but I would think that would some care, they would even be good for daily use.  We even put the 2 tables together to form a square when we had friends over and they were a perfect match (same height, color, etc).  For anyone who likes the farmhouse look, these are a great purchase.
