This is a very modern coffee table which works well with my current decor (white leather sofa/chaise). This wasn't very difficult to put together. There are two cons though - (1) the table edges are pretty sharp so I'm having to get table edge cushions, and (2) there is no protective coating on the table top itself. I'm purchasing a clear laminate to protect it from water damage, etc. Also keep in mind this is a very short table so if you're looking for something of average height, then you'll be disappointed.
