This table was such a great find! I was so surprised to find a table that is real wood, and it works well for our small space. While it looks nice as is, I would recommend finishing it with polyurethane to protect the surface, especially from makeup. Took my husband a few hours to put together and took a bit of effort, but overall it looks great. As always, would recommend using your own screwdrivers or a drill instead of the one that came in the box. My only issue is that the back leg is wiggly and hovers slightly off the ground, but not sure if it's an assembly issue, or hardware.
