I was pleased with the speed that I received this item.  The table is beautiful!  It was easy to put together too.  I bought the matching console table, but it has a wood grain table top and this one did not.  So it doesn't match 100%.  I was a little nervous about buying this item because of all the other comments regarding broken/scratched items, but decided to take a chance.  Well...something was broken!  One of the wooden slate pieces was broken.  What was really upsetting for me was that the 2 inch broken piece was packaged on top of all the styrofoam and plastic wrap; separate from the other pieces.  Which means that as someone was packaging all the items they noticed it was broken and shipped it anyway!!  I will be ordering the replacement piece tomorrow.  Aside from that, the table is beautiful!

Pros: Beautiful and seems sturdy.
Cons: Broken piece
