We were on the search for a glass coffee table that would not hide a beautiful Chinese rug and not look like it was just one more piece of furniture to fill up a space in our new home that we recently downsized to.  I ordered this piece because it looked unique and not like the majority of our furniture that is an eclectic blend of traditional and coastal.  This arrived and it sat underpacked for a few months because I wasn't entirely sure it would look right.  However, we were having guests for cocktails one evening and knew we needed a table for drinks and food.  We assembled it (easily) and used it with the thought we would just use it as needed and probably store itut in the basement  when not needed.  However, it is  a great addition to the living room and we've had lots of compliments and decided it's a keeper.
