This table was well packaged and was extremely easy to put together. You just screw the base to the pole to the glass top.  The table is not level however.  I wondered if it was my hardwood floors but I moved it to several locations and I have come to the conclusion that the base is not level.  The table is not very stable either.  I would definitely not place the max weight limit on it.  Luckily I plan to use it to rest an iPad or a remote control.  Anything more substantial would tilt the table over if not placed on the center.
