This is a great coffee table, I love the look of it!  The building was fairly easy, but we did need to use a drill (the directions said you'd only need a screwdriver and a mallet).  The design of the table is great, but the bottom shelf piece seems a little flimsy/unsupported.  That's the only thing that kept this from being 5 stars.  Overall, it is an excellent table for the price!
