A good table for the money

"For a little over $200 it's great. Delivery to Houston was two days - caught me by surprise. Assembly instructions were clear and include helpful hints - not always the case with products from China. Assembly took less than 30 minutes. Out of 24 pre-drilled holes for 12 connections, one was made a little off-center and the corner of one shelf doesn't fit the table leg perfectly, but with that side against the sofa it's not noticeable. The table looks just like in the catalog/webpage, but a close look shows the finish is not quite on par with the other tables in the room which cost two to three times as much. One selling feature is the extra middle shelf, which most console tables don't have. It's not lightweight, and very sturdy.
I have bought several such pieces of mail-order unassembled furniture lately, all made in China and have one common concern... The packaging includes quite a lot of styrofoam planks and sheets for protection. Works great, maybe overkill, but not the kind of thing I like to send to the landfill. Cardboard works as well and is recyclable, although more wasteful to produce."
