Piece was easy to assemble and is sturdy and looks like a better piece of furniture than its price. From across the room it looks like an older higher quality piece than it is and has to be examined to be seen for what it is. The packaging was good except for the inevitable mess of Styrofoam flakes, I for one would rather pay a a dollar or two more for biodegradable packaging that doesnt make such a mess, but we never shop for the packaging just the item.
I also applied an overcoat of water based polyurethane and gold paint to match other items in my living room that had a similar treatment, it came out great. From tests I did on the back dont use sandpaper to scuff it, any scratches may show through, but the mixture adhered well to the original clearcoat.
Good inexpensive table
