I wanted a table to put in my entry hall, because it looked bare without anything.  I didn't want to spend a lot of money because it would basically hold a lamp and just sit there looking pretty.  I found this table for less than anything I looked at in furniture stores.  [...].  I had to assemble it, which wasn't too hard--just some screws.  The only complaint I have is that the veneer is cracked on the back of the lower shelf, and curling a tiny bit.  But I didn't send it back because it's against the wall where no one will see it, and I noticed after I ordered it that it described the piece as "distressed" (which it isn't), and I thought I might have some difficulty getting a replacement because of that.  But it matches the wood trim in my hallway and looks great.  That's all I wanted.
