This end table was a pain to put together.  It arrives perfectly flat in one box.  I mean, you have to assemble every tiny piece and part of it together.  We're not strangers to DIY furniture assembly projects and are quite handy.  Most projects like this take thirty minutes or so TOPS.  THIS project?  This project took upwards of three hours!  It was ridiculous!  Love the finished product, but based on assembly I'm rating it one star.  It was terrible to say the least.
