Arrived earlier than expected, very well packaged, a few marks on some pieces but they were the underneath parts so we decided to press on with it. I'm old and have assembled many a piece of flatpack! This is very heavy - which is good and bad. Read the instructions, sort out the pieces, buy a ratchet allen key (they're cheap), leave the clips that fasten the top pieces together until the end, make sure the legs are right before you glue them together - make sure again, to match the holes on the top piece to the legs I had to get 12 long nails and drop them through the top holes to line them all up before replacing the nails with the screws one at a time. It looks great and because it's so heavy it's not going to move far. Am concerned about the top - don't know whether it will scratch or mark with hot things - will find out! Pleased the leaf stores under the top.
