This is a great looking table. Of course, it is not solid wood quality, but anyone buying this is aware of that, I hope. After all, it does not cost $600+ It looks a lot better than the plastic veneer over particle board construction that it is though. There are a couple spots on the veneer, support pieces for the top, where the veneer is peeling slightly on the edge. I subtracted a star for that. Pretty easy fix though with a brown marker, but I shouldn't have to do that. They should have added an extra quarter's-worth of veneer to wrap it under the edge so this wouldn't happen.It is assembled using the standard toggle bolt, dowel and screw system common on this type of furniture. We read tons of reviews on how difficult it was to assemble, how horrible the assembly process was, etc. That talk is WAY overblown. It is just a standard assembly, with the addition of a drawer. Iit is just one more box and the support pieces to assemble. If you are not handy, or are not familiar with this type of furniture, you may struggle a little. If that is the case, just read over the instructions a couple times first so that you understand the process.Yes, the assembly instructions start on step 4, and there are a few repeated numbers, but it is a logical assembly nonetheless. Yes, it has the typical multiple-times translated instructions feel with a little lost in translation, but nothing blatantly off. Since the legs are curved, you just have to be careful putting it all together without stressing anything. Just follow the diagrams. Nothing is really off in the instructions that I could tell. I used good wood glue on the dowels and contact points to reduce any future wobble issues, but it is a table, not a ladder. It should not get that much stress. I would recommend this table to anyone who knows how to self-assemble furniture.
