this was a nice surprise, one of those products that look better in reality vs the online pictures and your expectations. we were looking for a large table to match our huge sectional and "fill the room". it also had to be sturdy as we have a toddler that climbs everything - this table is the perfect choice if sturdyness is on your must have list. it's also good looking and resilient to being hit daily with various objects (we have it in our family room and serves mainly for my son to play on it - so it is getting a rough time and yet looks like new after 6 months of rough treatment...). excellent buy, probably the best quality / price ratio I ever purchased.
