got this for the new living room.  i wanted something simple and that would go with the industrial look of my loft.  The table put together really fast (about 15 minutes).  looks nice ... the table top looks a little to laminate-like for my tastes, but at least i wont mind beating it up.

was worth the price i paid for it, in the end.  if you want something cheap and that looks slightly better than ikea, i'd say this is the table for you.
