I have 2 small children who are still at the age of ruining furniture with spills and dings.  I had been looking for months for a table to replace our current one.  We have one of those couches that only allows for a maximum table width and this one not only fit the bill in terms of dimensions, I also got something that fit my style esthetic that is also very sturdy.  My only complaint is it shows finger prints easily.  Sometimes you have to pick your battles. I'll take the fingerprints for a solid nice looking piece of furniture that's also made well.  Did I mention it has storage and is super easy to assemble?  There's that, too!
