For the price I paid, I wasn't expecting such a heavy, sturdy piece. Assembly took me under an hour by myself- and I'm challenged when it comes to following directions and putting things together. I had difficulty getting the bottom shelf to fit in perfectly, so one corner is not in properly but I don't care enough to disassemble the table to fix it. Would buy this table again and will definitely be buying more pieces from this collection. 

Pros: Sturdy
