I'm very pleased with this coffee table.  It looks like stone, and has an overall elegant appearance reminiscent of more expensive pieces. It was tedious to put together with the small allen wrench provided, so just allow some time and patience.  The surface seems durable, and the table sturdy enough, although I did have to make sure the kids don't sit on it, as the weight suggestion is only 40 pounds.  I would recommend this table and was very happy with the quick delivery and quality.
