This is not a bad product but there are certainly some flaws that should be mentioned. First, the packaging (while very secure) was difficult to remove. Be prepared to cut styrofoam (and clean up a lot of debris) in order to get it out from between the pieces. Second, the directions were not terribly clear on leg assembly and we struggled with several attempts to complete the last step. We literally felt as if we’d received defective pieces that would not fit together. Only after researching multiple reviews did I discover the problem - two legs are ever-so-slightly different (and I do mean “slight”) and must be placed accordingly:front vs. back - so pay close attention. Last, the drawer does not have a catch to prevent it from falling out of place when opening….this is not a deal breaker for me, as it’s more for looks than for purpose but it is worth noting. Again, I’m overall satisfied with the piece and it fills the space perfectly. It’s a great addition to my “Command Center” area and it’s a good table for catchall items that would typically clutter up my kitchen counter. With small improvements I would easily give it more stars.
