I really like the pattern on this table. It's really distinct and fun. It was very easy to put together. All you needed to do was screw on the legs. The only hard part was actually getting the packing Styrofoam out from the the shelf. My friend had to help with that but if that's the worst thing that happens then life's pretty good. I would definitely say it would be a good purchase for anyone who wants a mid-century modern piece but doesn't want to pay for a super expensive table.
