This is an excellent piece of furniture, and an incredible bargain for the price. It is quite heavy and is solid wood (no particle board or veneers). If you can live without a drawer, one is probably saving at least $50 by getting this table. A few people have complained about the assembly, but for an average person handy with tools it is very easy (the only tool required is an Allen Wrench which is included). With the table upside down, make sure to not tighten the leg bolts all the way, then turn the table right side up, and put the lower shelf on, and then tighten the legs securely by tightening the bottom bolts first to bring the legs tight against the bottom shelf, and then finish tightening the top bolt for each leg (references to top and bottom bolts are when the table is upright)..
