As noted in other reviews - this table takes a long time to assemble. (The instruction says 1 hour for two people), with tools (which is not included) the two of us spent about 2 hours. We did forget to use the glues lol so we had to redo the first step - our bad. But as you go, you get a sense of where to put what and it was a nice piece by the end. Worth the money and effort. It is sturdy which is what I really wanted for a funny table.
