Was hesitant to purchase a coffee table online.  But happy with the product.  Clean lines.  Doesn't overpower the room. Very sturdy table.  The glass is prob 75% of the total weight.  Directions are photos only, like Ikea.  But pretty intuitive if you're used to putting things together.  Definitely worth the money vs. buying something $50 cheaper at homegoods that would be all banged up.
