This table is beautiful, and I love the butterfly leaf option for when I'm hosting dinner parties.  It took me less than half an hour to assemble; all you have to do is secure the table legs using the provided hardware and allen wrench.  It's easier to extend the table with another person to help you, but I was able to pull the table apart and swing the leaf into place by myself.  I had my doubts about the quality of this item because I'm always skeptical when it comes to ordering online, but this is a very sturdy table.
