I like the ease of putting this together— literally three nuts/bolts. The height is great for wide tables and the look is fun.  I did not like that on both tables I bought, one bracket was bent per table.  Easy enough to fix... but really? And as others have said, it has a brushed gold finish, which doesn’t bother me.  See photos for both examples.  As long as you are informed... it’s a good buy!
