After reading the positive reviews, I expected more from this table. It's very difficult to assemble, as the legs are a tight fit and require a heavy hammer or mallet and a lot of strength to hammer into the slots. The directions aren't clear either. I ended up with a bowed table top because of the force required to hammer in the legs; I tried turning the table upside down and hammering the bowed edges, but they didn't bulge. The result is a warped, cheap-looking piece of furniture, despite the fact that it really is rather solid.
