This table is very heavy and looks great.  It was very difficult to uncrate, but I'm grateful that it was so well packaged that it arrived undamaged.  It does have some plastic protectors on the bottom corners that I think are just there for shipping.  They slide right off.  I saw in another review that someone thought they detract from the design.  I don't think they are meant to stay on.  I planned to put felt or something like that on the bottom edges to avoid scratching my wood floors.  But I haven't done that and the table slides easily and smoothly.  This is a really great piece.
