I've purchased two these. One for a guest room, the second for my office. They are extremely solid and stand firmly without a wobble. It would be a challenge to put them together alone, but with two people, they go together quickly with an allen wrench. HOWEVER, the "distressed" finish looks like clumsy scratches---think fender scraped on a granite post. So plan on getting a can of spray paint to even it up or just make the frame solid black. The manufacturer should just offer it as a black metal table and forget the distressing "distressed" look. But the price is more than reasonable. Just too bad that one has to take the time with a can of spray paint.
