I bought two of these tables and I absolutely love them - they look way more expensive than they actually were. The table was very easy to assemble and is very sturdy. They drawer doesn't pull out very smoothly, but I only keep a lighter in there, to light the candles I keep on the table. When first assembled, there was an odd smell to the tables (maybe varnish?), but it was completely gone within two weeks. The only part of the table you have to be careful about is the bottom shelf. To insert it, you have to carefully slide it down the legs until it fits firmly - if you press too hard on one side, it will knock the shelf into a lopsided position and could possibly scratch a leg. If you are careful, you should have no problems and end up with a beautiful end table. I'm very pleased.Two years later: I still love these tables. Even after two years, these tables look great. I do have a couple of tiny chunks out of the legs because of that shelf issue I spoke of previously; if you remove the bottom shelf and need to reinsert it, you have to be very careful. I did also have to tighten the screws on the table a few months ago; however, I got a kitten about a year and a half ago and the nosy little guy used to jump up on it all the time. I'm pretty pleased that despite this abuse, it never came close to tipping over, and there isn't a single scratch from his sharp little claws. I don't know if these tables would hold up to child/family use, but it's perfect for me and is definitely one of my favorite purchases.
