It seemed simple to put together at first, but none of the holes in the legs are drilled to match the holes in the ring and have it be level. It was completely uneven and looked silly. I had to take it apart, measure and drill new holes that were even and then reattach the 3 legs to the ring. I love how it looks and it goes with the “coastal” look I was going for perfectly so that’s why I didn’t give it a lesser rating. It’s very sturdy and I was concerned that the rattan top might not seem secure but it is and I don’t think I’ll have to worry about it peeling up.
