We love this coffee table! We had a heavy wooden one with shelves that took up too much space. This is great, love the shape, it's something different. We also like that i'ts light, easy to slidde around on the rug and that it doesn't have a shelf, it won't collect stuff and make things look cluttered. The black metal legs and wood is beautfiul. We also got a new dark couch and accent chair and light colored rug, this goes great in our redecorated room!
