A little taller than I'd have liked but we have a low-ish sofa.  Would be better for most others.  Still I think it's just great.  Big enough for board games and spreading out a newspaper but not huge big.  We had purchased the sofa table previously and it is also a superb value as is this coffee table.  Solid and attractive but not expensive.  Went together easily.  no wobble.  Feels very sturdy.
