Pretty much as advertised. What the other reviewers said was true.  Reviewers have commented that the failure to pre-drill holes for the side ornamentation was a detractor. I agree and my July, 2019 version is like prior year versions. Don't look for innovation from China.  It is lightweight but sturdy.  It does not have a smooth finish writing surface.  For some who want to use it as a writing desk, that could be a drawback.  I don't have a problem with it.  Wayfair shipping was spot on the promised time and date.   Assembly was very easy.  I don't give it 5 stars because of the overall look of the table.  Perhaps I will like it more when I get the side ornamentation installed.
