I bought two of these. When I first opened the package I was very please with the quality of the wood and the apparent simplicity of the assembly. However, that was not the case. Putting the top on was very easy. In putting the L shaped braces (for the shelf) the pilot holes on the legs for the screws were a little small but it made for a tight fit. One of the tables had two legs with the pilot holes on one side of the leg and two legs with the pilot holes on a different side. It worked but looked strange because the L brackets faced different ways. This wood is very hard and dense (a good thing) unless you dont have pilot holes. It is impossible to screw the screws into the shelf without pilot holes. So now I have to drill the pilot holes myself which, of course, makes the assembly that much more difficult. If the shelves and all legs had proper pilot holes I would have raved about this product and given it 5 stars.
