Right out of the box, easy set up even without looking at assembly instructions, so well constructed and designed to make for a very lasting accent piece. Matches well with my dark walls and other pieces which were constructed in India. One of the best buys I've ever purchased in my 76 years on this planet. One of my few favorite accent pieces n my living room.

These little tables are fantastic as long as you understand that 18" is not very big. I got two of them - I use one as a plant stand for a large jade plant, and the other is an "end table" for an indoor Brazilian hammock. It's just big enough to hold a book, an iPhone, and a drink (all the hammock essentials). The table tops have beautiful wood grain patterns and the carvings are gorgeous. I don't know if the wood is hand carved or machine cut, but I don't care. It's beautiful in any case. The wood stain looks like walnut to me - the color is accurate on my computer. It takes about one minute to put one of these together. Just lay the top upside down on the floor and fit the bottom panels against the guides on the top. There are two little wooden pegs that swivel into place when you get the peg cutouts lined up with the pegs. My two went together without any trouble. My tables are both level and feel solid - not at all flimsy - but I stll wouldn't sit on one (it's a table). You can easily take it apart and flatten it for storage. It takes up very little space when it's flat - it's a very clever design. The bottom is open, so you could easily pick it up and put it over a light for special effects at night. One of my table tops arrived with a tiny (1") scratch but it's not very noticeable and it doesn't ruin the table for me - my eye is drawn to the carving along the edge of the top anyway. The panels were all perfect - no cracks or broken pieces. The hinges all lined up perfectly and are darkened to blend in with the wood - they are visible but they don't jump out at you. My two tables were carefully packed and overpacked for shipping - if that's how they always ship, it's hard to see how these could be damaged during shipping. I'm really glad I took a chance with these tables - but again - pull out a tape measure and make sure you understand what 18" looks like. It's easy to look at the picture and imagine something bigger.

I really liked that they were easy to put together. They had a petroleum smell out of the box that quickly went away. I suppose it was the finish that was applied at the factory in India. The quality is what you would expect from a cheap import store. They are pretty sturdy and look pretty nice and seem to be functional. Would I buy them again? That's a maybe,

Beautiful wood carvings make this small table a treasure. It's gorgeous!

It's well built and it's really beautiful. It's made out of solid wood. Its worth the value.
