I bought a set of two and was able to put them both together in about 15 minutes total. Very simple construction but I personally don’t think they look cheap. Like most things, it does seem to be a bit wobbly so I had to add some felt protectors on one side to even it out.
I do wish was just a bit wider as I have a deep 46” depth couch and I wish the corners were rounded due to the fact that I use line in lieu of a tv tray to eat on. The sharper corners can be annoying as I try to rest my arm to use a utilensil. Overall, I’m happy with this purchase!
