It is exactly the way it looks like. I don't know why some reviews were mentioning about the shabby looks etc. But I think it looks quite modern and sleek. It is of perfect size and length for my living room. The length is pretty good and the glass is easy to clean and maintain. Plus the heavy glass makes it very steady. The assembly was just 2 steps-Put everything inits place and then just push in. With the offer price, this is the best you can get and don't worry, it looks good as well. 

Enjoy using it!
