This table is the perfect size & height for our very small living room, but we expected a table with burl veneers to have a gloss finish-- this table has barely any finish on it at all. And it scratches easily, too. We may just put a coat of somethingonit ourselves, but buyers should be forewarned. Also, while it was a snap to assemble and is sturdy, you can see the hardware holding up the shelf-- not very attractive.
