Nice table for various uses. I'm currently using mine as a coffee table, but can imagine being able to use it for many other occasions for displaying things. Once I style it, I think it'll be a great unique addition to the living room. Set up was okay, I read that some people didn't receive instructions, but I received them both through email and attached to the package. All in all it took about 1 1/2 hours to put together with two people. It is heavy and pretty sturdy once set up.
