Quality, sturdy table. Very well packed. Already had a distressed-gold leafed side table bought at local furniture store.  This coffee table is a bit more shiny gold than the side table.  Less distressing done on the gold. Little disappointed in the finish because in places it looks as if it was just spray painted with gold paint... making it look cheap.  As others have stated the glass top is a bit thin but other than the finish on parts of the table, it's an elegant looking piece.
