It helps to have experience putting tog products because the directions on this table are just one diagram. I was able to closely match each part and location after careful study. It look great and appears to be sturdy although I wouldn't chance 50 lbs as per the claim. Delivery was a day later than expected but not an issue. All I was able to assemble alone by propping it, assembly would be quicker with 2 people.Pros: Good value and the design makes it almost disappear so it doesn't have a bulky look.Cons: Directions are a challenge.
