This is a great looking extremely functional table - very well made for the low price.  I have been using it for some time now and it is extremely sturdy.  I don't even use it as a coffee table - I placed it behind my desk to hold my computer and printer and store paper and ink on the bottom shelf.  Holds everything quite nicely and could easily be converted back to it's original purpose as a coffee table. In my opinion, you won't be disappointed with this table.
