This is my 4th table. Obviously, I consider them an excellent value-- beautiful, classic, well-made solid wood, and fairly simple to assemble. This table is perfect in a little wall space opposite the front door and entryway into a roomy foyer. I am a petite female who has found it possible to assemble tables in about 15 minutes using the tool kit included. (I also own the console table with shelf which is almost twice as long as this one, an end table with shelf and a chair table with shelf.) The glitch in this purchase, and it is the ONLY glitch I have ever encountered with , is that the shelf did not simply slide into place as described in the instructions. I ultimately had to turn the table onto one side, slide the shelf into place from the bottom, and then put the shelf rests in up under the shelf once it was in place. Considering the beauty and elegance of the table, I consider this a small inconvenience, resulting in maybe 4-1/2 stars. This table is described as chocolate oak but it perfectly matches my other pieces described as chocolate cherry.
Four And A Half Stars!
