I purchased this as an open item and couldn't be more pleased! I was a little worried about the quality due to being an open item but after receiving, I would have never even guessed that it was opened. It's a beautiful end table with good quality solid wood (both pieces) . Easy to put together and took 15 minutes, just screwing 4 screws into the top and 4 into the bottom. I liked it so much that I decided to purchase a second one.
