I almost didn’t get this coffee table.   I wasn’t sure about the top.  Oh my was I pleasantly surprised !!   It’s detailed and craftsmanship looks like it is really expensive.   The bottom tier is a more common wood panel look.   It works well together.  The top tier is the icing on the cake - the beauty and the bottom support and shelf stabilize the look and the actual table.   It’s also handy to actually be able to keep or display items on the under shelf.   Photos don’t do that top justice.
