Homiyad 20" Modern End Table, Accent Side Table, S-Shaped Coffee Table with Storage Shelf and Steel Poles, Black

I received this table today, assembled it and put it in my study. Nice and sturdy, had a nice black veneer with simulated wood grain and a slight glossy finish that should be easily cleaned.I'm posting this reveiw immediately because it was a very interesting process assembling it. Should yours be exactly like mine and you're not a little mechanically inclined, you may have trouble assembling it.1. The instructions are strictly the "picture" type with no explanations. Parts are clearly labeled with stickers, so not too much trouble identifying each piece and the hardware. Pictures are rather small though. If you've ever assembled something from IKEA, you should be able to handle this.2. HERE'S WHERE IT GOT INTERESTING - you may not understand this unless you have the table and instructions in front of you, but be aware:Shelf #3 (the middle shelf), where there is an attachment point for the metal support tube #5, had a partially drilled hole with a threaded metal insert identical to the one on the top shelf #1. THIS CANNOT WORK AS THAT SHELF #3 REQUIRES THE HOLE BE DRILLED THROUGH ENTIRELY IN ORDER TO USE THE INDICATED ATTACHMENT BOLT #C.I looked at this every which way and double checked that I was using the correct parts. Having done so, I decided I needed to remove the threaded insert on Shelf #3 (easily done with a metric hex key - I think it was a 5mm). I then chose a drill bit that was equal in diameter to the #C bolt and slowly (so as not to damage the finish) drill entirely through the hole in Shelf #3. Look at Shelf #4 (the bottom shelf) where the bolt #C goes through from the bottom to attach the metal support post #5. Once I had that done, the upper support post #5 was easily attached to the top Shelf #1 by inserting a Bolt #C from underneath Shelf #3.I've attached an image of the instruction sheet to help explain this problem. Have Fun!!

The instructions that came with it made absolutely no sense. I ended up and scrapping them and using my own judgement. It took me a minute but I eventually got it together. It's not the most sturdy but I knew for no more than I would ever have on it that it would be fine. If you are like me and want it more for the look and not so much for alot of storage, I would highly recommend it
