Although I found the directions relatively easy to follow and this is a relatively inexpensive table I honestly expected better. I followed the instructions to a T and I'm still wresting with is to be even and not wobble. I've taken it apart and put it back together a couple times and the top portion of this still doesn't fit on mine. The back also isn't black like the rest of the dresser, it looks like cheap cardboard. I get "you get what you pay for" but based on reviews I expected a much better product and am extremely disappointed.
