We have been looking for a coffee table the right size for our apartment for years. We finally found a winner! We received our shipment rather quickly and in one compact box. The assembly was done within minutes. It even comes with the tool that you need to attach the legs with. The table surface is surprisingly durable, we have eaten on it many times and have not scratched it once. I like how the tabletop is matte but the drawers are glossy. The finish variation does give it texture. It is quite heavy, so it does not feel cheap at all. The drawers slide in and out very easy and have enough room to house our magazines, remote controls, and any other little items. We have received numerous compliments on how classy and modern it is. It has easily become the focal point of our small living space. We definitely got more bang for our buck with this one!!!!
