These little end tables are a nice answer to what to do about the increasing number of devices the average home has to plug in. I was able to assemble them myself although it would have been easier with help when it came to attaching the pieces that pulled the sides together.  (I'm a few years past retired.) The tables needed to be plugged in behind my couch which has a straight back. I contacted Wayfair to see if the cord had a flat plug or not. The answer I got was that it did. That sold me on these. Unfortunately, they do NOT have flat plugs. I had to use an adaptor on the outlet, otherwise the protruding plug would damage the couch. I gave the tables five stars anyway, because it's not the company's fault that Wayfair gave me incorrect info.  Overall, very happy with these.
