This could have been so easy. The only assembly was putting in the bolts holding the legs. That took only five minutes. However, getting to that point took a half/hour struggle to remove thick staples holding the legs to the underside of the table. It was the dumbest packing method I ever saw. About fifteen staples total, each had to be extracted by pounding a tiny screwdriver under it until it was bent up enough to grip with pliers. Id never seen anything like it.
Now that it is in place, it was exactly what I wanted for an eat/in kitchen. Its a tiny bit wobbly, but a piece of stick/on felt will take care of that. At that price point, I wouldnt expect anything else. But the unpacking.sheesh. I cant give it any more than three stars because of that.
Unpacking was the toughest thing.
