This table arrived in perfect condition and before the expected arrival date. It was easy to assemble. The quality is reasonable. It actually has a black finish on it and is not just "paper" covering the wood. The black does seem to scratch easily and shows the scratches. The drawer could be a little more sturdy but does what we need it to do. We bought this for our family room and use the drawer as a charging station for all 5 tablets in our house. The shelves are a great added feature to put storage baskets on to hide all the extra knick knacks too. Overall, I would recommend buying this table if you don't have kids that will scratch it all up or if you do have kids but are looking for something functional and are not worried about a scratch here or there.
