In the on line blurb it says, and I quote “assembly is a breeze”. In my opinion more like a category 5 hurricane. There are 13 pieces to this table with over 240 pieces of hardware. Yes you read that right over 240. I’m a very experienced furniture assembler (been buying stuff from IKEA and Wayfair for years). This table however was a challenge. To be fair the instructions were very explicit and easy to follow. The table arrived with all the pieces as needed. It was the sheer amount of work required to complete the project. It took me several hours and I had to take several breaks to rest my cramping hands . Power tools are not recommended so putting in hundreds of screws by hand is really tiring. In one other review the buyer says the top scratches easily. Yes that’s true but putting a cloth under the top section while assembling prevents any scratching. I really like the table which is why I gave it 3 stars but the assembly is a nightmare which is why I ONLY gave it 3 stars. Knowing what I know now would I buy it again - probably not!

Product is flimsy and the wood in top has not protective coating causing to scratch even by just putting together. I am returning! No wonder there are no reviews!
