I love the look of this table set, and it is the perfect piece for my small NYC apartment. The reason I am not giving it a higher rating is solely based on assembly difficulties. 
For some reason a paper manual was not included in our package, but luckily we found it online (that could have been a huge issue if we hadn't set up our wifi yet). The metal pieces were a bit difficult to align to put together, so this is definitely a 2-3 person job. Our biggest challenge was attaching the wood top to the metal base. There were no indentations or indications on the wooden top (basically just a slab of wood) of where you need to screw the base in, so you need to be super careful about aligning it properly. Also make sure you have a drill, because that is the only way you can attach it- lucky for us our neighbors had one.
