This ships in 3 seperate boxes, base, pole, and top. The top is reversable. There are no pre-drilled holes, so I measured and centered the base on the opposite side of the black top (black is what I wanted for the top) and used a white paint pen to dab where the holes would be. I pre-drilled the holes as I did not want the wood to crack when I put the screws in. Everything went fine. I love the weight of this table. It has a nice heavy base, which is what I wanted. I gave it 4 stars because the pole was bent on one side at the top. I happened to have a straight jaw tongue and groove plier that pulled out the dent. I put a cloth between the plier and the outside of the pole as to not to ruin the finish. No problem. Highly recommend this table!

Love this little table. It is strong and well balanced, can not be tipped over. I love it!!

The table top sits on top of the pedestal with nothing to stop it from sliding around. A ridiculous design.

Perfect size! Just what I was looking for

Functional, small bistro table. Nice wood with metal finishes.

This was perfect for the small area in our guest house. As many other people commented the table top is reversible so there are no pre-drilled holes. It was easy to put together and has little feet on the bottom for leveling. It comes in 3 separate packages and I ended up with 2 table posts (a bit weird)

Easy to assemble! Love the simplicity! Sturdy table top!

Nice table for the price point

This is the table with my tablecloth on it

A heavy and study bar top table. I loved the overall look. The only small challenging part in the assembly was there were no pre-drilled holes because you could choose which side of the table top you wanted to be face up. It allowed you the choice of a black surface or wood laminate surface, but did mean some extra work lining up the screws correctly.
