I would have never purchased it. It took me well over 1.5 hours to put this together alone. The directions say you can use a screwdriver, but thats impossible if you want the assembly even longer. I had to purchase a power drill to speed up the process. Some of the screws fall into the hole and are impossible to get out so I broke one inside the hole causing one side to be less sturdy. Overall once its finally together its a really nice looking coffee table. I definitely should have read how large the coffee table is, because its huge. I have a smaller living room and it takes up a decent amount making the area crowded. If the assembly wasnt so terrible this would have had higher ratings and my overall happiness would be more. Im just meh over the whole purchase.
If I knew this was so difficult to assemble...
