I originally bought this coffee table for budget reasons, but if I could go back in time, I would spend the money elsewhere. It is nice that there is storage at the bottom to conceal items, however you can tell that this is laminate wood. You can see the laminte warping off in some areas, the slats do not lineup with each other, and it took 3 hours to build. Where the screws are, there are stickers to put over it. It is nice for the time being, but it seems like a temporary piece.
