This table is absolutely gorgeous!!  That said, it is solid wood and you will need a friend to help you get it in the front door because it’s HEAVY.  I was able to assemble it entirely by myself relatively easily, and I do love the weight of it because it is quality, solid wood.  Also, for people with small children who have wondered the same, I can say that we have not had a problem with food crumbs getting stuck in the cracks (we have 3 kids under 10).  I highly recommend this table!
