For what I paid for this table, the manufacturer could have done better. The parts were short 4 flat washers--luckily I found the right size of flat washers I needed out in my garage. I thought that the table could have been better designed and made for the bottom shelf to fit more easily, but everything worked out fine. It is important to follow the assembly instructions to the letter. It looks very nice, just like in the picture in the listing. The outer box had minor damage from shipping, but the contents were well prepared and packaged for shipping, and they were received in perfect condition. All of this being said, I really like the table. I had to fight the tiny pieces of styrofoam all over the place, but they clean up.
I would expect better:
