My wife and I are pleased overall with these tables. I bought two as end tables in my den. They have a nice finish, and dont seem overly delicate as some reviewers have implied. However, I have two pieces of advice: 1) they are not perfect and may have a few blemishes. Those are probably minor and not worth fussing over or returning. But you may want to have a black furniture touch/up marker on hand just in case; 2) these are easy to assemble but when putting on the first two legs, leave the screws loose until you have the lower shelf in place. That will make the shelf slip right in place. Other reviewers who damaged theirs by forcing it in obviously didnt do this. One other little issue I encountered is that the wooden dowel for the drawer stop doesnt fit snugly in the hole and easily slips out. Not sure how to correct it yet.
Look very good, esp. for the price
