I LOVE this table! Assembly was time consuming but not difficult because the assembly instructions were excellent. It took me about three hours to put it together, with a little help toward the end as it got bigger and heavier to maneuver. It's very solid, with cam screws, regular screws, wooden dowels, and glue holding it together. The only tools I needed were patience and a screw driver.  The drawers are substantial and it has lots of nooks for craft supplies. I'm going to get a LOT of use out of it. (NOTE: the colored inserts in the nooks didn't come with the table.)
