I had my eye on this coffee table for a while and the day I decided to pull the trigger it went out of stock. I was so upset and even though I had several other similar coffee tables in my bookmarks, I decided that this was the one I NEEDED. I went a month without a coffee table just to get my hands on this, and the second I saw it back in stock I bought it. I am not disappointed. I put this together by myself and while it would have been a lot easier with two people it took me under 30 minutes alone. For fake marble I don't think this looks tacky at all and it looks more expensive than it is. The only thing I don't love is that because the top feels so inexpensive it feels like it would get ruined easily, so I'm worried about putting anything down that could potentially scratch or ruin it. But for $100 I think you cannot go wrong with this.
