I ordered this after I accidentally smashed the large glass coffee table I had owned for 20 years - I decided there and then I would buy wood, not glass.
This table looks really good, was easy to assemble (and Im not good at that kind of thing), and having the lower shelf is super practical for storing books and magazines.
The ONLY criticism I have is that this table is very narrow - I dont know why they couldnt have made it 3 or 4 inches deeper.
All in all Im very pleased with it, and several people have commented on it (the color, the finish, the turned legs).
