The good: This piece is gorgeous. The company put a tremendous amount of care into the design and packaging of the table. It is entirely disassembled, but the layers of pieces inside the well-protected box are laid out intelligently and with padding in between each level. All the hardware is separated into individual pouches. The pieces are well constructed, and the instructions are complete and easy to follow. Construction too me about 3 hours alone, and I am fairly meticulous. 

The not-so-good: The wooden legs have a metal insert drilled into them that attach to a bolt through the lower plate. Unfortunately, one of my legs came with that metal insert almost falling out. I was able to repair it (I think). I will have to wait a month and see how it deals with the weight of the TV and stereo.
