This set looks nice but the assembly is not very sturdy.  Though the cross pieces are connected with wood dowels and screws, the screw holes were not pre-drilled.  Also it is supposed to be solid wood but when attempting to drill and screw those cross pieces, the wood crumbled just like particle board.  Mostly it is glued together.  If you need a sturdy table, this is not the one.  Would not buy again.
