This Table Looks Good When You Pull It Out Of The Box. I Like The Idea That I Can Use It For Several Things, But So Far I'Ve Only Used It As A Console. I Am Disappointed That The Finish Is Very Easily Scratched/ Marred. It Also Has 'Gouges' In It Already. I Don'T Have Kids, So It'S Not Like It'S Getting Abused Or Anything. It Does Seem Sturdy- Is Actually Very Heavy To Move Around. If You Are Really Going To Use It, I Recommend A Glass Top Or Tablecloth/Pad Right Away!
