We love this coffee table!  We wanted a piece that didn’t take up visual space, like a solid wood table might.  It’s heavy, well-constructed and stable.  I stack books underneath instead of on top - looks good!  Never had a problem keeping the glass clean, I just hit it with Windex.  The cats like to lie on it, and unlike a wood table - they can’t scratch it!   We bought it as an open-box - the quality was still 99 perfect (there was a slightly flattened section on the edge of the beveled glass top, but it was polished out at the factory and not noticeable at all), and the price was fantastic.
