We were going to simply get a new glass top for our coffee table. Wed enjoyed it for twenty years until a family member fell onto it and broke it. Have you priced replacement glass !!! It would have cost us at least double the price of this table for the glass to put on a twenty-year old base.  This product is a little bigger and higher than the old table, but it fits very nicely in the living room, and the distressed metal finish matches our windows and sliding door very well. Its our Christmas present to ourselves.
