Extremely happy with this coffee table! I was a little hesitant about buying this piece because of some of the comments about assembly. I bought it anyway, and I am VERY happy with this beautiful coffee table. As far as assembly, TAKE your Time, go slow and it fits together perfectly. I did it all myself, with just the tools they recommended and a cordless drill. By myself , it did take about the 3 hours suggested. There is nothing like putting together a beautiful piece of furniture and proving the men all wrong. My fiance' can't wait to see it when he returns.
It comes is two large boxes, very securely packaged. Lay everything thing out and Take Your Time. Its worth every dime, and an extremely good value for your money. I would definitely recommend this piece to anyone. It looks so good in my living room, and the color is a nice cherry walnut and matches my armoire perfectly, a nice unexpected bonus! I will change the handles for something more ornate, and that will work well with the quality of the piece, but the handles that come with it, are nice and durable.
Bottom line, this is worth the money and time. I am so happy with this purchase!
