For the price, this is a perfect piece. It wont become a family heirloom, but it works while I save up for the table I really want. The base is sturdy and the top is wood - even if you order the marble top. Its faux marble, and I knew that when I ordering but I was worried - overall, the faux finish looks great! 

It was easy to assemble but did take about 30 mins with one person.
