The top piece was slightly warped upon arrival and the assembly was more than I anticipated. I admit that I did not review the details of the item too closely prior to ordering. I just purchased a similarly styled coffee table and assembly for that consisted of simply screwing on the legs, so I was thinking this would be more like that. I'm new to Wayfair, rookie mistake I guess. I needed to use the tv stand right away so I completed the assembly and am happy with the look. I do worry about the warped top causing further issues in the future.
