I love how the piece looks and functions. It added much needed table top space and storage to my entry way/living room. I am very satisfied with the purchase. Including checking out all the pieces before construction, it took about 2.5 hours to assemble. I would really rate it a 4.5+ but there were a couple things that keep it from being a 5 star rating.

It wasn't perfect, though. The directions are nearly entirely pictorial and minimal, but they were a sufficient guide; however, the pictures of the various screws were hard to match to the actual screws... so it would have helped if the bags were labeled. The hole for one of the legs hadn't been drilled all the way through, but a little elbow grease did the trick. And a few pieces had some nicks in the finishing (only one of which shows if you know to look for it.
