I do like this coffee table.  I like the look, the size,  and how sturdy it is.  At first I could hear a rattle in the box and I was worried it was broken.  There is something loose in the inside, but it does not affect the function.  I read the other reviews before I purchased it and knew that it would need a glass top to make it work like a coffee table should.  My husband looked online and found he could purchase one for roughly $100.  The price of the table still makes it a good price even knowing I have to buy a top piece.
