Love the chrome with the glass.  It is perfect size in front of a sofa.  It makes a room look larger by being able to see through it.  It could be used with modern decor.  it looks great with my county french chairs and modern sofa.  It makes for great conversation with chairs around it.  Easy to put together.  Took maybe ten minutes.  The hardest part was getting it out of the box.  It was packed really well.  You certainly don't have to worry about broken glass with the way it was packed.
