As the old adage goes: You get what you pay for.  It's a good, solid table, but the instructions included with the table were confusing and vague - as if they had been translated, poorly, from some other language.  This made assembly of the table very frustrating - but with patience, brains and perserverence, it all came together and now I have a lovely table that I paid half-price for (I almost purchased the Pottery Barn clone and I'm so glad I found Wayfair's option).  I don't mind assembling my furniture, I just need the instructions to be easier to understand.
