This is a beautiful table and the top allows spills and such to be cleaned of with ease. For those whom have complained about holes not fully lining up and troubles with assembly, these are typical issues that can be encountered with ANY furniture that is self assembly. Even the beloved IKEA has those issues. But that in itself is apart of the assembly process. I seem to have been one of the lucky ones as my table sustained no damage in shipping, or with my son using it as a step stool while it is in the box prior to unpacking.

There is a bit of instability that occurs on the side where the single post is, but it doesn't bother me as that instability is only felt when I use it as a foot stool. Probably would not recommend with small children as my 4 year old has almost tipped this thing over a couple of times in the few months we have had it.
