The finish is fairly matte so be aware of that when buying. The picture makes it look shinier than it actually is. Regardless the table looks fantastic and the design is really unique and beautiful. The height is fairly low but I think it makes any room sleeker. The legs of the table are made of silver hardened plastic. I thought it would look cheap and tacky but the legs are barely seen as the bottom table piece essentially cascades over the legs and hides them. It is made in Taiwan and quality is as expected (~Ikea) but is better than some recent purchases from wayfair that were Made in China/Taiwan. I think itll survive some kids, but not crayons :D
