Very sturdy, all materials were in package, no written instructions but very easy to put together; table top did not have holes drilled so we had to measure where the pedestal should go and got it centered on the first try.  The table has a couple of marks on it; used black marker  and filled in nicely.  For the price, it's great and works well in my apartment dining room.  I would purchase again.  Purchased the black finish, by the way.
