Ive had my eye on this table for months because my late fiances and my apartment is small with almost no storage. I finally purchased it and assembled it on my own. I like projects like this, but was a little daunted. Overall, not too difficult to put together, but the center piece inside the table does need to face a specific way (that wasnt clear in the instructions). Since I was building this myself, I did the last bit of assembly a little different than what it says to do. Instead of lifting the tabletop onto the legs, I left the tabletop upside down on the floor and placed the legs on it. This made it easier to get everything aligned in the holes. From there I flipped it over so I could go in and secure everything. I found it easier this way since the table top is just too cumbersome and heavy to do it on your own the other way around. There is a little gap on the top where the the part that slides out isnt exactly flush with the other part that lifts up. I thought this was just me not being careful, but it looks like a lot of people had this issue too, so I dont feel as bad about it. It isnt that bad and I dont mind it at all. Its still a beautiful coffee table that feels sturdy and reliable and I adore it.
In love
