My table arrived - with no damage and all the parts were there.  The directions were easy to understand - and we put it together in what seemed to be pretty fast.  ( we used a power drill )  It made fast work of it.  Just be careful not to strip any of the holes out if you do use a drill.  Haha

I think it was a good buy for the money.  It's not a high end table and it only costs me $190.00  I
would not want to have spent any more on it than that.  It is cute and looks nice in my kitchen area.

Now the hunt is on for a  few chairs.     PS I too saw a table like this at Pottery Barn for allot more $$$  If I'm not mistaking I think that the top  on it was some type of manufactured wood - that was the turning point for me = and the price

Pros: Easy to read instructions - good buy for the money - is cute - Is a very sturdy little table once you put it together.
