Assembly was easy although every cam caused the white finish to buckle and crack.  The power cord just drops out of the bottom and is super ugly.  A white power cord would be an improvement, or a small channel for it to follow to the floor would be a HUGE improvement.  Can't really knock stars off for that since it's pretty evident from the photos on the site.  Where it does lose stars is that the very first person to use it set his Yeti mug with Aluminum bottom on it and it left marks all over the top!!  Other furniture that I set that same mug on did not suffer the same.
