Very nice clean and simple design. Modern yet traditional.  The top seems durable as it's a laminated coating but still looks like real wood but will stand up better against scratches and wet glasses. Relatively easy to put together,  could be a one person job. The pictures could be a little larger and clearer in the intlstructions but they are good enough. The metal corners are a nice touch that will ensure the laminate does start to peel from taking any damage. It arrived packaged well. It's one heavy box. I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend. Especially at the sale price.
