Love having the extra counter and storage space now in our kitchen.  My husband didn't have any problems assembling, team work on the top piece is a must pretty heavy.  My husband pointed out some good features on the quality on how everything went together, that the screws couldn't strip the wood and that the pins used were decent.  The only negative thing that I can think of is the arms on the drop leaf can prevent your chairs from being pushed in all the way.  We didn't get the recommend chairs and that could be why this small problem is occurring.  Very happy with our first online furniture purchase.
