It did the trick for me! It's nothing luxurious, but it's sturdy and perfect for my needs. There were directions included and I thought they were fine. But, sometimes the screws didn't fit the way described. My table was missing a foot and is lopsided, unfortunately. Also, this is the second time I ordered something from Wayfair and it was dropped off on the bottom floor of my condo complex. It's just sitting out for everyone to pass by. Also, it was very heavy. I live by myself and getting it up the stairs was difficult. I would appreciate if it was delivered to my door.
