Easy to put together! It took longer to break down all the packing material than it did to build it. It was packaged very well and the table had no damage. The top is a bit rustic, which is the look I wanted. We added two coats of clear finish to the top of the table since we have young kids and I wanted spills to be easier to wipe up. We love the look of this table in our breakfast nook! It seats 6.
