So far I am very pleased with this coffee table. We needed something functional for a tight space on our main floor, so having something that expanded and otherwise kept a smaller footprint was key. The only thing I'm not as pleased about it that I wasn't aware it had a "faux" wood grain/finish. It's still ok, but it doesn't look as high quality as I had hoped. The assembly was a tad difficult; though I followed directions closely I ended up swapping two pieces and needed to take it apart. It was slightly damaged upon arrival (a slight ding in the centre of the table, which I only noticed once I had folded it out. All in all, good value.
