Beautiful little table and just what I needed for my indoor plants (that had been sitting on tv trays). It was pretty easy to put together except that no screw holes were predrilled. So you definitely need a drill to put it together. I docked a star because a piece of a drawer was cracked all the way across and had been wood putty in the crack to "repair" it. The table is made of pine wood and only the parts that are visible are treated. With that said, it would be easy to paint this little table if you wanted to.
