Very easy to assemble.  I assembled two in less than 30 minutes; it took longer to take them out of the packing materials.  Much heavier than I thought.  I was afraid that the tables would look too dainty and feminine in the bedroom, given the 9 feet tall ceiling & that the decor has very strong lines & colors.  The tables not only stood up to the decor, the daintiness and femininity of the tables helped balance & soften the rest of the decor.
