I bought for our family room for chair-side snack tables. They are very easy to assemble. Some have complained that the holes are off, I had no issues with that at all. I rated them 3 stars because                                                                                            of the price. This set would be much better at the $75 range. There is nothing "wood" about them; the tops are probably some kind of pressed board,covered in a wood look laminate. The metal bases are as expected. I did use the adjustable legs that came with them. On a hard surface floor that will make moving them around much easier. Recommended purchase during a sale.
