I Love this table, it fits perfect with my other decor in my living room, shame it is to big to go where I wanted to put it. so i will use it as a nightstand for the guest room. Do yourself a favor, put the lower shelf on first... I am a single woman and I had no problem with the assembly. Once again Wayfair hit a homerun for me.. this is the only place I buy furniture..and will be a lifelong customer
