This is a lovely small table, exactly what I wanted, and looks very good with my antique oriental coffee table.  My only quibble is the shelf connection.  Unless I am blind, you need a drill to drill holes to attach the shelf, and it took me a while to figure out where to do so--is the notch above or below the shelf??  I have not yet actually attached the shelf, and the table still looks fine, but better instructions/pre-drilled holes would be appreciated.
