I totally agree with other reviews that said this table was much prettier in person. Assembling could not have been easier! However, the table top is very heavy so it took two people to lift it and set it on the base. 
I also agree with others concerning the shipping!! The base arrived on Friday and the top on the following Monday. The FedEx guy needed my husbands help unloading the 81 lb. Package that was falling apart. I went on and signed for it but was expecting major damage. The table was fine but I was just blessed! The butterfly leaf glides open and shut with ease. I love this table!!
