This table looks aming. The instructions that are provided are somewhat confusing, but if you get the hang of what screws go where, youll be fine. It did take about one hour to put together.
Step 1 consists of attaching two braces to the bottom/side of the bottom shelf. (See edit at bottom) The problem is that the screw threads only barely sink into the shelf, they barely go one threads worth in. So if you apply too much torque, you will immediately strip out the wood. To fix my screw/up, I filled in the holes with wood glue, let them dry, then carefully re/drilled pilot holes and tightened them *by hand* until only barely snug.
The rest of the assembly was pretty smooth and painless, but just know that you CANNOT use your power drill with a philips bit when you tackle step 1 or you will immediately strip the pilot holes.
Edit: Unlike many others here whose step 1 involves the Drawer Slides / I must have received different instructions. MY Step 1 consisted of taking the bottom shelf, and then attaching two braces to the bottom of it. In my copy, the steps involving the R/L drawer slides did not appear until step 3 or 4 (I forget which).
This is very pretty once put together and seems very sturdy. However the getting it together part is harder than I thought. The directions are pictures that are hard to decipher. Tiny lines with numbers and letters. I had a few pieces upside down and had to go back and flip them. overall its a nice piece but it comes in about 13 pieces with a bunch of nuts and bolts.
I was nervous about putting this together because the reviews made it seem difficult but it was super easy.
The table is gorgeous. I love it. And for an awesome price!
The product came slightly broken. Small cracks in the legs. Not enough for me to be willing to send it back, but enough to make me annoyed and not want to buy from them again. As with any assemble yourself product it never really fits together as well as it should and will probably not hold up very well if you move to a new place. Otherwise, for 100 its worth the price.
Came UPS and what us becoming more common is their poor handling of boxes. The box came in pretty damaged but the packaging of the unit was its savior. I was seriously impressed putting this together. Everything is clearly labeled and the directions were great. The quality is tip notch. I am very pleased with this purchase. I did the cobalt blue and it is a beautiful rich color.

Wood is ok
The wood is ok, heavy. The knobs came chipped and the instructions are not all that clear.
Looks aming

Be careful on step 1! DONT use a power screwdriver!

Cute table
Although this is a pretty table it was very frustrating and difficult to assemble. It took about 3 hours or so to put together.
Great price
Love it! Easy to assemble and perfect for my entry. Great price so happy with my purchase.
Sturdy and Pretty

Definitely cheap
