Packing foam pieces were everywhere in the box. Like snowflakes with static electricity, they stuck to all surfaces of the table. Messy and a pain to clean. It sounds trivial, but you'll see.

Corners of the legs chipped off in shipping but were hidden from view so I decided not to return the item. By the time I finished assembling it, more had chipped off. I had to purchase a furniture patch/paint kit to cover those blemishes.

The particle board is just that. Very much like particles. Very cheap.

Pros: Looks nice. Great as a sofa table.
Cons: Quality is lacking greatly.
