We LOVE this coffee table. It is so sturdy and large. The storage underneath is perfect for our books and video game controllers. There is plenty of space on top for coffee, books, candles, coasters, and still has room to put your feet up. The wood grain on top is absolutely gorgeous. Also love that it has a V shape on the side instead of an X. Makes it a little more compatible with a modern bohemian decor and less blatantly "farmhouse".
