The packaging for this table is very poor. The first shipment that arrived had huge punctures/holes on two of the main faces of the box. I could stick my hand into the box and part of the table was sticking out with obvious damage. I wasn't home when it was delivered, otherwise I would have outright denied shipment. The second shipment also had punctures, but I decided to assemble it in good faith. Unfortunately, there was hidden damage on the table surface, where it was obvious that the table was dropped at some point in time. There was a gouge along the edge from the drop. I would not recommend buying this product solely because of insufficient packaging. I also would not that the table surface has a matte finish, which was unexpected considering the images made it seem glossier.
