Very elegant looking...I ordered the cream color and it looks perfect over my colored/patterned carpet. The legs give it more of a sophisticated look and there is a ton of storage inside for easy access to board games when just hanging out. I also plan to use it to place food on when company comes and like that it can easily be wiped clean and that the surface is firm enough to support items being placed on it. Easy to put the legs on and it arrived in great condition!
