I love everything about this table - the size, looks, sturdiness,  ease of putting together.  It was packed well with no scratches, etc. to any of the pieces.   In fact, it took longer to unpack than to assemble the table.  I put it together myself and it was quite easy.  I do have one tip - the directions say to attach all four legs first and do not tighten the screws, which I did. It was difficult to get the bottom cross piece attached that way, so I removed one leg and screwed in the crossbar loosely to the three legs then attached the fourth leg, which made it super easy to put together.  While searching for an end table I did find this at a major store for $300 more!
