This was a great buy. The table is level and sturdy and fits perfectly in my small living room. The color was also exactly as I expected. I was able to assemble it myself with no help. Came with all the pieces and extra screws.
As promised in the title here are some tips for assembly. CHECK TIPS 4 AND 5 IF YOU WANT EASY ASSEMBLY.
1. Do yourself a favor and let your cat play with the box while you build.
2. Use several bowls to keep your screws organized while you build. Dont open the screws until you need to. I had one extra for every type of screw except screw G which had exactly the right amount.
3. Use a magnetic screw driver especially for the spring hinge mechanism. I also used an electric screw driver (not a drill) for screw G and screwing the top onto the hinge.
4. To easily and SAFELY attach the spring to the hinge mechanism. Thread a sturdy cord through one end of the spring (I used a phone charging cable that doesnt work anymore). Attach the other end of the spring to one of the pegs on the hinge mechanism. Pull on the cord to stretch the spring onto the other peg.
5. Follow the assembly instructions in the EXACT order they are given if you want your table to be level. Specifically when you are attaching the legs to the table. The instructions have you screw in the legs from bottom to top on one side. And from top to bottom on the other side. The order matters
6. When your table is finished remember that the springs are still new and extra tight so I advise that you only open the table toward yourself until the springs relax.
