A great table for the price. It took about 30 minutes to unpack and assemble.  The box arrived securely taped with extra cardboard protecting all of the edges. To assemble, all you need to do is attach the lower shelf and the 4 legs.  The drawer is already attached to the top of the table.   The style would work for a more casual room, not a formal living room. The top has dark stained ridges cut into it.  If you can't handle a little dust collecting, then move on to another style.  :-)
