Beautiful, sturdy table but you need lots of space and lots of time to assemble.
When assembled it was in perfect condition with no scratches.
The top moves easily and smoothly.
It is rock/solid thanks to being glued *and* screwed together. (Seriously, you cant get this to wiggle in the slightest.) Plenty of glue is also included.
The top provides plenty of space and the lower shelf and can hold laptops and tablets out of view.
With that being said, it does take a surprising amount of time to assemble.
Im a flat/pack veteran; having assembled dozens of pieces over the years.
This was, by far, the most difficult.
It took me about 3 hours to do by myself.
It required an entire 9 by 11 area to assemble without scratching anything.
There was also a flaw in the illustration for how to assemble the piece K. It said to insert a dowel near the edge away from the cams. No such hole exists and instead it goes into the middle hole.
Suggestions for assembly: rather than instruct the user to place the foam pads at the edges of the top, put them in line with the top of the legs for a smoother landing.
Dowels should have glue put on them and then inserted rather than gluing in the hole. Make sure theyre in firmly.
The top is difficult to mount by yourself. Id suggest only putting one or two screws in and then tackling the other side. Be patient as its very (very) finicky and easy to cross/thread and strip the bolts.
it came with small adhesive plastic corner pieces with no indication of intended use.
If youre looking at this and you can deal with the baskets of the similar style Id strongly recommend that instead. The assembly should be much easier, with far fewer pieces, fasteners, etc.
