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!
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.
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 thread's 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 table looks amazing. The instructions that are provided are somewhat confusing, but if you get the hang of what screws go where, you'll be fine. It did take about one hour to put together.
Great table easy to put together- it look me about hr alone- but I was watching tv while putting together sturdy table- I have 2 large dogs and they havent killed the table yet!!! Drawers have plenty of space for little things! Table top enough for my mail holder and keys or a purse!

Be careful on step 1! DON'T use a power screwdriver!

Looks amazing

Wood is ok
The wood is ok, heavy. The knobs came chipped and the instructions are not all that clear.
Lovely entryway table!
Great table easy to put together- it look me about hr alone- but I was watching tv while putting together sturdy table- I have 2 large dogs and they havent killed the table yet!!! Drawers have plenty of space for little things! Table top enough for my mail holder and keys or a purse!
Loved it so much I bought another one!
Super cute and the drawer slides nicely.
Great size!
Purchased because I needed a narrow table for our entryway. My husband said it was easy to put together too. Video provided to help!
Ideal small space solution
Very easy to put together, sturdy and ideal for small space
Looks nice!
We actually used this to put our gecko tank on and it is the perfect unit for that along with all of his stuff while still looking pretty.
