I love the look of it! It came packaged really securely and already assembled. It sets evenly on our floor. As others noted, the top is a tad uneven but I like that - seems more natural. My only negative is that when you set something on the top, it sounds tinny. I looked under the top and it the metal is a ring and one supporting band. I guess the tinny sound is just the metal bottom But I love the look and may buy a second once we give it more use!
