The assembly was so easy. I put this together in 15 minutes for my mom. All I had to do was use the included Allen key wrench to put on two bolts per leg then had someone help me flip the table over to stand upright, done! It looks so good with her black and silver dining chairs. I did not notice any defects. If you’re looking for a cheap, nice looking, Slim and space saving table to have somewhere for you and maybe your kids or partner to eat at and do homework at and all that sort of stuff, this is it! Great quality for the $100.
