We needed a piece with the proper proportions to fit in our relatively compact TV room, and this table turned out to be perfect.  We really like the brass color, and the texturing is very attractive.  When we placed the order, we were uncertain whether the table might be prone to tipping over if bumped, but those worries were unwarranted:  the table is quite stable.  (That might not necessarily be the case if you have rambunctious little people charging around.)  The top is slightly concave, dipping slightly toward the center, so we placed a glass top over it (see photo) to make it both more level and easier to clean.  We've gotten plenty of compliments on it, so others seem to like it as much as we do!
