Great coffee table. It is heavy though so keep that in mind. Assembly was easy for me, but I am very handy and mechanically inclined. I did it myself in about 2 hours. Go slow, read the instructions and don't force anything. It is just particle board, but at this price that is what you get. Once assembled, the table is as strong as a tank. Move slow, the surface can scratch if one panel corner drags across another. The table storage is deep so it holds all kinds of things. Very happy with the purchase.
