I love the design of this table  have received many compliments. The dark espresso color is true to the Wayfair photos. It came in 3 parts, base, pedestal  table top. It took me about 15-20 to assemble  I’m a 61 year old woman. The base had a few minor scratches which I was able to hide with a  furniture marker (see before  after photos). It was well packed for safe shipping. It’s on the smaller size (table top 32”) which makes it a perfect accent table to go between my two club chairs. I’m just starting to decorate this room  have purchased many pieces from Wayfair and have been very happy with all of my purchases.
