I really like this table. Very beautiful and suits my decor perfectly. I was expecting it to arrive without holes drilled for the screws as I read the reviews first. I chose not to drill them myself because I was a little afraid of splitting the wood that way. This wood is soft enough to screw fire into andvthatbisxwhat I did. I had to use a little elbow grease, but no too much effor was required. It went together in just a few minutes and looks beautiful.
