This is a really nice coffee table--installation was a tiny bit tedious but not a nightmare. The colors are true to the photo. It has a very small footprint in our living room, and it's very convenient to have the two drawers so you can store stuff out of sight. The top of the table is very sensitive, so if you have young kids or messy kids, you don't want this table. It scratches very easily, though the manual does that tell you that. Overall we are very pleased with our cool coffee table!
