I love it! This fits nicely into the bay window of my dining room. And it fits nicely under the top of the molding. It table was fairly easy to put together and yes the reviews are helpful when suggesting to have the center portions in place first. The matte black with the lightly brushed silver is so pretty. I almost purchased the one from pottery barn but this was a better fit for my needs and a better price. Now I just need to find soft curtains to complete the look.
