I love this coffee table.  I've had it for a couple years now and it is still in perfect shape; even after being used as a foot stool by someone.  I put a couple of little ottomans under it like it shows in one of the pics, and it looks really nice like that too.  Easy to put together by yourself and easy to clean.  The glass is nice and thick and sturdy.  It comes with little gel like dots to put in-between the glass and metal, but I would recommend maybe using the gorilla glass glue to keep it permanently in place if that is what you want.  I got this on sale, so it was really affordable.
