I really wanted to like this table, but as soon as I started unpacking the pieces from the box, I could tell the quality wasn't the best. Considering the price I paid for it, though, the quality wasn't totally unexpected. What frustrated me the most were the assembly directions. I've put so many pieces of furniture together, but this was the most difficult thing I've assembled, so poor quality + bad instructions = disaster for me. It didn't help that the nail holes for the leaves were slightly misaligned with the main top of the table. It took a couple hours to put the entire table together and it does look nice in my dining area, but upon closer inspection, you can tell it isn't top quality. The table is a good size for a small space and I do like the drop-leaf.
