I bought this table to place behind a 90 inch sofa that is in front of a window.  I plan to place live geraniums on it that will bloom all winter.  The table is very sturdy and easy to assemble.  It does have a distressed / aged finish which is fine for my purposes.  Best of all, it will work in several areas of my home.  The quality and value for price is excellent.  The table blends in well with more expensive pieces in the room and is a good transitional style.
