This Leick Home 9059-RS Mission One Drawer Side Table with Shelf in Russet has a smooth finish and very solid. The pieces were safely packed and I did not notice any scratches or flaws on the leg pieces or the table. The instructions are very easy. Before putting it together I just set out each screw with 2 washers and I used 2 per leg. It twisted in perfectly even and can use the little allen wrench that is included! Sometimes when I am assembling carts or grills or other furniture, the screw holes just are not drilled out evenly. But this was a very smooth process. Once the 4 legs are secure the bottom table piece just slides on while still having the table upside down and pop in the 4 small shelf supports! This table looks so nice and the drawer adds a decorative touch that I do find useful. It can match any decor and is built to last.
Overall, I wouldn't change anything about it and highly recommend!
