Received this table today.  It is everything I was hoping it would be!  It came nicely packaged, and there was nothing to put together.  It is beautifully made.  The distressed wood top is a beautiful dark color, and the metal adds such a nice dimension to it.  It is a good height for next to a chair or couch.  I have it between two chairs.  You could easily put a lamp on top or other decorative items.  I have been looking for a table like this for quite awhile.  I think the price is fair for  a table like this.  I would buy again, and highly recommend.
