I just got this table today. It came very quickly on a giant pallet. The shipping on this thing had to be at least $300 (but I didn't have to pay anything). It's insanely heavy. I don't think 2 people could have moved it. I opened it up outside of my house and brought in each piece one at a time. I set it up by myself in about 15 minutes. It comes with a small tool but a socket wrench will make putting this together 100 times easier.It's much nicer that I thought it would be and much nicer than the picture appears. They should really have more detailed images that show how beautiful the top of the table is. It's very well made and extremely heavy. I thought that I would leave the card side up permanently but then I saw how beautiful the flat side is and I've decided to leave that up the majority of the time. Hopefully it won't mark easily; time will tell.Keep in mind that this table does not have slots for poker chips so it's more of a "card table" than a "poker table" but we will use it for poker as well.
