Very poor instructions, not real stable, a real problem to assemble unless you ignore the instructions and assemble from the top first. The pilot holes for the screws were too large making the screws just spin when trying to tighten them. The holes for the dowels are also too large and the dowels fall out while trying to assemble the table. I ended up taking both tables apart and using wood glue everywhere parts joined. That finally made the tables very strong and stable enough for table lamps. Would I buy again? Not a chance!
