Easy to assemble right out of the package. Even the Styrofoam packing can be used as shown in the photo. Glad I found a way to repurpose the Styrofoam (not discarded). The table size is fits perfectly in my living room corner. At last that dreaded void in my living room has finally been filled with an eloquent but simplistic desk as a work station for my Dell XPS 2-1 computer.
