I purchased this as a sofa side table.  It is constructed out of strips of wood glued together as a veneer to cover the interior wood table form.  It arrived with a crack in the veneer about a couple inches long at the bottom of the table.  Now less than a month later two more cracks have appeared, one in the upper section and one running almost the whole length from bottom to mid-point.  The glue holding the strips together is coming apart and more cracks are bound to occur.  I am completely disappointed in the poor quality of this table, especially for the price.  Originally given a discount when I reported the first crack, but now feel that a full refund or exchange would be more appropriate as this item may become unusable soon.
