I didn't realize how hard it would be to decide on a coffee table, but I finally went with this one since it looked sleek and functional.  Having a bottom shelf for storage was an important factor.  Overall I really love this table - the color is pretty true to the picture and it feels sturdy.  The only downside was we already ended up putting a scratch in the top somehow (can't figure out where it came from but I know it wasn't there upon assembly).  So getting a scratch is our own fault but just know that you'll want to be careful with wear and tear on the top of the table.  This was my first purchase at AllModern and I'm pretty satisfied.
