I eyed this coffee table for quite a while prior to purchasing and appreciated customer photos with descriptions about their experience assembling the product. Everything positive I saw was true. I was able to put the tables together easily and the packaging was done very well so I had no damages to any portion of the tables. They are stunning! I didn't want a conventional looking coffee table and wanted something to both blend in well with a somewhat complicated color scheme of the open space living/dining/office nook room it's in. I'm so pleased with the outcome and can't wait until the rest of the furniture comes to bring the whole interior design vision to life.
