I figured I would have to put together the table when it came in. But fortunately the only thing I had to do was mount the side table on with 2 bolts and it's done. The legs are already installed and ready to fold out. Took longer for me to take it out of the box.The only issue I had was one of thr mounting screws below the table was loose. So I would recommend using a screw driver to check each screw. All of mine were good except for one. There were also some little dings and scratches on the table/legs(probably from transit). But nothing major in my opinion.Very solid table. I believe it's a particle board with laminate. The legs are metal and it also has small adjustable plastic feet for leveling the table. Both sides together weighs almost 50 lbs.Overall happy with my purchase I would give it a 4.5 our of 5.
