Easy to assemble, looks great!  The distressing is a nice touch.  But I will say the top scratches very easily, we haven't even done much on it yet and it already has a bunch of scratches...  I'm not looking forward to kids doing homework on it.  I have some hard placemats I can use with it, but because of the size, all 4 won't fit.  But the table is a nice quality and looks great!
