I had been looking for a sofa table for several months and finally decided on this one.  I was a bit hesitant to order from online in case the color of wood clashed with other pieces in the room.  Fortunately, it is just as pictured.  The legs and shelf need to be connected to the top portion.  I found the assembly to be quite easy for this 70+ year old gal!  The pieces fit together perfectly.  For the price, the quality is excellent.
