I purchased this coffee table and it is gorgeous. It took little time to unpack it because they did a marvelous job in packing, making sure it would not be damaged. It didn't have any assembly instructions but that was okay because all I needed was to look at the picture of it and knew how to assemble it. It is very sturdy and the black tempered glass gives it such a touch of class. I would recommend this table to anyone. Looking for an entertainment cabinet from the same company, Furniture of America. Their prices are great and the quality of their products are top notch!!!
