I looked at the reviews and given the price, I purchased this as a present for my 10 year old grandchild. I have built many "some assembly required" furniture pieces in the past, so I was not too worried about the difficulty some were having. Unit arrived in two days via Fed Ex ground service, and as usual the packaging was ravaged. As per normal for me, I took pictures of the box before I even moved it. Upon opening the box I was pleasantly surprised that the pieces were packed well and nothing was damaged.
Assembly. Okay, if you have built furniture and other similar pieces in the past, assembly should not be a huge challenge. The instructions are adequate but not detailed. Biggest issue I heard from other comments was to make sure you have the handles/players in correctly, correct order and correct direction...do it wrong you will need to take allot of the table apart to correct. It is not hard, just be aware and be careful. It is helpful to have a screw gun/drill with bits to make things go faster...they do give you an Allen wrench but....well....in a pinch it works but pack some patience! I would recommend the screw gun/drill, sets phillips bit, allen bit, and speed square (for making sure the legs are square with the table). I did not have to re-drill any pilot holes so I did not need to drill but other have stated differently.
Overall the table is strong, sturdy and plays well. We are not "professionals" so it worked very well for our needs. We have had a few hours on it and nothing has come apart! ONLY downside is the screws that come with the side mounted cup holders barely screw into the wood. I had to use longer screws in order to properly attach them since the first time we used them, someone bumped into one of the holder and it came off easily. That is the only negative I have for this table.
Some notes:
- Finish is a photo finish that is adhered to the wood so be-careful not to get them wet. In the past, with my experiences, these eventually start to peel up on the ends/edges, so I have used contact cement to re-adhere. No biggie and I would not make this a reason not to buy, just be aware! Oh, DO NOT put tape on the finish since it may tear and lift off.if you try to remove the tape...not saying this table has does this, I am just not going to try it!!!
- There is enough "slop" in how the legs attach to the table that If you are not careful the legs will be slightly crooked. I used a speed square to make sure the legs were "square" with the table as I tightened down.
- Build time is an hour or less if you are familiar with this type of construction and assembly. I doubt this is a huge challenge for any person who has and experience with basic hand tools....really not that hard to assemble.
- A second set of hands is helpful, but one person can do it.
- You can assemble with a phillips screwdriver and the kit supplied allen wrench, but a screwgun with bits will make the job much easier.
- Have fun! The table does what it is designed to do and if given proper care, should last a long time!
