Do not buy this if you are expecting fine furniture. Theyre cheap and look like a yard sale purchase that has been sitting in a garage for a while. A second coat of paint would have made them beautiful. I bought two. The assembly on the 2nd one went quickly because I did it my way instead of following the instructions.
Assembly hints: Put the washers on all the long screws first and set aside. Assemble all four legs to the shelf but leave screws loose. When positioning the legs onto the table top make sure the faux wood grain on the top runs the same way as the grain on the shelf. Then attach the legs to the table top. Leave all the screws loose. After all the pieces are assembled, then go back and tighten all the screws (legs to table top first). I used a small adjustable wrench to turn the included hex wrench. That allowed me to turn the hex wrench like a screwdriver. The dowel/drawer stop may have to be glued in (one was too loose).
I would have rated them lower but theyre nice, sturdy tables. The black color helps to hide their uneven finish. I would have been very, very disappointed if I purchased them at full price.
No wonder they were half price.
