I like the look of this end table, but it is really just a piece of art. I wouldn't recommend if you are looking for something to put a lamp on, or set a glass on. The top surface is not a level plane. Not only are there divets where all the dots are, but the actual surface has several dips in it so it is not level. Also, it is not sealed with any veneer, so any moisture that sweats off a glass is absorbed into the wood and makes dark spots.
