I am really pleased with this coffee table.  For the price, compared to others out there, this is an excellent value.  Solid hardwood is just too expensive and this looks great as an alternative.  Shipping was very timely...no problems.  The only negative was the instructions for assembly.  I think the directions were from China.  They didn't translate well, but I get the impression it wasn't too hard for my husband to figure out. (I didn't have to do the work..just admire the finished product)
