The table arrived very well packaged, although it was heavier than I expected!  After unpacking, I found the directions to assemble the table pretty easy to follow and had the table assembled in about 10 - 15 minutes, as I was doing this by myself.  The table is absolutely beautiful!  Has the rustic look I was looking for and fits in with my decor perfectly!  The 2 side storage drawers are perfect for tv remotes, coasters, etc.  Already received a number of compliments on the table!
