Nothing was obviously broken or scratched (compared to many other reviews). The actual table doesn't look quite as nice as the photos: the trays look cheap and have a few minor irregularities; the metal legs don't line up perfectly and aren't that shiny; looks quite ugly without the trays because of the way the legs don't perfectly line up and the very visible metal supports for the glass. Overall however it's a decent table, very reasonable for the price, easy to put together, seems sturdy.  Doesn't look like a high quality expensive piece because it isn't one!
