I think the piece is OK for what it is, but not worth the $1,000 price.  When mine arrived, the base looked fine but the glass had strange foggy marks that almost looked like a grid pattern that would not polish out no matter how many times I cleaned and polished the glass with glass cleaner.  The result is a $1,000 coffee table that looks extremely dirty when the sun shines into the living room.  See photos.  You can see the grid pattern (looks like fog or streaks) when you look at the table, that is NOT the pattern in the rug below, the gray streaks are actually in the glass itself.  Would definitely not buy this again.
