We love this coffee table due to its size and weight. One thing you should know is the base, although made of concrete is hollow, which is a good thing as otherwise, it would be ridiculously heavy. Not a deal breaker, but it's worth mentioning. Our table had a small chip on the top, and Wayfair customer service made it right. The bottom side of the table is fashioned in such a way as to fit around the base, so there is no way the tabletop will slide off from its centered position and fall off. (See my photo.) Also, this thing is shipped in two wood crates. Please be careful opening the crates as there are several nails that will be exposed. (Again, see my photos.)
