I was hesitant to purchase knowing that every table is unique, and it was possible to receive one which was too odd shaped to be functional. BUT, I was so happy that the coffee table I received has a large center area with beautiful curvature, and it is absolutely perfect. We did already accidentally spill a drop of coffee on it which left a mark (mild soap and water got it out) but I would recommend sealing it to prevent that from happening in the future. 

It is truly a beautiful piece, super easy to assemble.
