No doubt it looks awesome and makes a wonderful center or coffee table but its little delicate on surface - one day we spilled some water on top of it (very little water) and after few hours we noticed that shiny wood (or mica) layer on the surface in that region got swollen.  It has never happened to any other table I know... Otherwise an awesome table - I would recommend you to purchase it only if you carefully handle it and not spill water on it ever :-)
