I've put together a lot of furniture and this is the first piece that I needed help with -- they need better instructions and had missed drilling some holes. The table looks expensive, and the electrical outlet is just what I needed.I am used to poor: design/manufacture/materials for furniture at this price. And if not any of those categories, then at least a pain in the rear to assemble. I was wrong on all counts. The materials are of nice quality and arrived with no blemishes. The parts fit well and little "coaxing" was required. Instructions are easy to understand. They even provide a few extra parts (bolts, screws, washers, wood dowel, cable guide) in case you lose one or somehow goof up the assembly. I used a cordless drill/screwdriver, a rubber mallet (for the dowel-there are 8) and the provided Allen key.One assembly suggestion not mentioned in the instructions: in Step#1, attaching the legs - don't tighten completely until the rest of the table is assembled - the legs, sides and bottom shelf will fit together easier that way. THEN tighten the leg bolts.Real wood and quality finish with no flaws. All parts were included for assembly plus extra screws. You will be required to assemble the table. #1-do not screw legs tightly to top, you will need wiggle room to assemble the sides and base. #2-When attaching the base and sides (it will be upside down at this point) there are no screw pilot holes to align the legs in position, so center them.. If you don't have a wood clamp to pull the legs tight, another set of hands helps. The wood is soft enough to screw into by hand, you need Philips screwdriver. Most everything requires assembly now. You can't ship things assembled anymore, would cost too much.I JUST RECEIVED MY TABLE AND IT TOOK ME MAYBE 20 MINUTES TO ASSEMBLE IT. I WAS SHOCKED AT THE QUALITY OF THIS PIECE OF FURNITURE! THE INSTRUCTIONS WERE EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND ALL OF THE PARTS WERE INCLUDED IN THE BOX. THIS PIECE OF FURNITURE IS EXCELLENT. IT IS WELL MADE, VERY STURDY, AND SOLID. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN EXCELLENT TABLE FOR IN BETWEEN TWO RECLINERS, FOR EXAMPLE, THIS IS THE TABLE FOR YOU. AND SINCE IT INCLUDED POWER AND USB JACKS WAS AMAZING!!!! WOW....I AM SO PLEASED THAT I MADE THIS PURCHASE.I have been pricing powered end tables for a few months now and what I had seen everywhere for twice the price was made of manufactured composite materials. When I saw the price for this end table I had to jump at it and ordered two. I basically got two end tables for what I was expecting to pay for one. When they arrived and i opened the boxes I was blown away by the quality. All of the pieces are solid wood, no man made or manufactured parts, just high quality pieces. I am very happy my new powered end tables.Positives: Looks and feels like a quality product. I bought it because it appeared to be sturdy, and while I won't be using it as a step stool, I can say it conformed to my expectations in that area. The outlets and USB ports seemed like good utility in our technical age which was a factor in my purchase.Negatives: While it DOES look good, it's also the wrong color. In the picture it looks red therefore I was disappointed when I opened it up to find that it was distinctly brown! Additionally be careful with the assembly instructions. I suspect if I had followed them to a T that I never would have managed to use all the wooden dowels as prescribed. They do provide you with everything you need minus the screwdriver so that's good at least.Assembly was somewhat tricky. The color and finish are nice. The table itself is a little on the small side. Especially since it is narrow on the open end, the bottom shelf is practically useless. The integral outlet and USB ports are handy.Typical assemble yourself, imported, cam bolt and dowel type cheapo furniture. Do not expect Martinsville or Ethan Allen.That said, it is actually very nicely finished and sturdy. It went together easily(always add a drop of wood glue to dowels, etc.), and the outlets and charging ports function perfectly.A great value for the price and function.--->If you found my review to be helpful, please click the "Helpful" button below!Thanks,Mike
