Sturdy design. Takes stain easily. Took me about 45 minutes (except for a little glitch) to assemble it. 
The glitch was, the assembly drawing had the rear board upside down. Had to disassemble the almost fully assembled table to correct it. For the pocket holes, pre-drill holes and use the given screws or else they have more potential to break the head off. Don't ask how I know this. :-)
