Overall, this is a nice coffee table but the instructions were sub par. They do no give a clear picture as to what is supposed to be completed with each step. While it is nice to only have to complete a few steps, it is annoying to have to guess what is supposed to be completed as numerous steps were combined into one. After the headache of putting it together, it is a very nice and sturdy coffee table. Buy only if you have ample time and additional help putting together.
