I wanted a taller coffee table so I could use my laptop on it while I watched tv, and this is the perfect table for it. I have an Ikea Kivik couch and while it's tall enough to comfortably use with a laptop or to eat off of it wasn't so tall that it looks weird in front of it. I was impressed by the finish of the table, it looks like a really expensive piece of danish mid century furniture. The "natural" colour is slightly darker than pictured, which I was happy with as I was worried it would look too "pine-y".  It got to my door a week earlier than expected - Thank you Wayfair!
