This wasn’t quite what I expected. It’s a bit lower than what we’re used to for a coffee table though we’re getting used to it. It’s also quite small- the pictures made it seem larger than it is. The layers all open up and swivel around a bit too freely so they can swing around and knock things over. However, if you stuff something into the gears it makes the swiveling stop.  It’s growing on us, but definitely wasn’t an “omg love it” buy.
