I'm using it as a coffee table in my office/bedroom and it looks clean, contemporary, and just what I was looking for.  Assembly took 20 minutes, some of the screws did not want to go in completely, but after a bit of time, it was done and looks very nice in front of my couch.  It was heavier than I expected and roomy enough to hold magazines and books.  The metal legs mix well with the light wood and it looks much more expensive than it was.  Nice update to the room.
