We are very pleased with this purchase.  The table came well-packaged and protected, and it was easy to put together.  The wood is of good quality, and the seams/edges where the wood and metal connect are smooth and fit well together, making the table sturdy and giving it a high-end feel.  We were looking for an end table that was "substantial" and would complement the large furniture and masculine lines of our basement family room, and this was the perfect fit.
