The table was delivered quickly. Safe and secure packaging kept the table from damage. My son was visiting when it arrived, it took him 20 minutes to assemble. No tools necessary. I was previously using a dark brown, wooden coffee table and I love the new table. It's design, materials and color make the room appear more open and spacious. The oriental rug underneath is also more easily seen. I wish it was a tad larger for my sectional, but the dimensions were accurate!! Very nice piece!
