I've had this table for 4 months now and I love it! It is heavy and sturdy, and the glass panels have held up to the chaotic, 4-legged banshee that lives in my house and wreaks havoc regularly (the cat). No scratches, chips, or cracks so far. It was simple and quick to assemble (probably 15 mins beginning to end), but again, heavy - if you have mobility limitations or any concern about your ability to lift a little extra weight or awkwardly sized panels, I'd recommend getting a partner to help you place the glass. I was able to do it myself but it made me nervous for a minute. Overall very satisfied with this purchase; it makes a sophisticated centerpiece in my small apartment.
