These tables are a nice modern/contemporary addition to a living area. They look great with my black couch, black coffee table, and non-coordinating grey end table on the other side of the couch. On a scale of easy to *** levels of difficulty, they were relatively easy to assemble. You just have to scrutinize the instructional picture to make sure you know where each hardware piece goes. I don't know how easily the top surfaces will scratch, so I put down a small piece of fabric underneath my stack of books just to be safe.
