My house is full of wood!  We have a tudor style home and there is wood everywhere.  We've changed our spindles to wrought iron and I have some black furniture throughout the house.  This accent table was perfect in my dining room.  It filled that empty spot where a full size buffet would have been too large.  Plus, the glass shelves don't add bulkiness to the room.  I've displayed some books and a candleholder on the bottom and a vase and picture on the top.  It is a little tricky to put together.  It took my 15 year old son and me about an hour to put together.  Not difficult, but we found that the wrench they include worked better than a Phillips head screwdriver, which took a little extra time.  It's sturdy though and for the money, you can't beat it.  Looks more expensive than the price!
