Very very pleased with the tables.  The assembly wasn't a bad process, it just took a little direction reading (which sometimes husbands don't like to do...ha ha)  It really wasn't a bad project though.  The tables don't even look like "put together" furniture.  They look high end and beautiful.  I looked a long time to find tables that were large and had a decent amount of storage space. I also wanted them to be square.  So many of the tables you see these days are smaller than 18" wide and I just really wanted something bigger.  The storage was very important.  I looked at a lot of places until I found these.  I'm thrilled with the way they look and the way they're made.  It's been an excellent most wonderful purchase and we love them!
