The good - it's a beautiful table, heavy and extremely sturdy.  The top really does look like real marble even though it isn't.  The bad - it sounds like it's perhaps just our table, but there are small bubbles in the table's sealant, which can be fairly easily seen in bright light.  Not enough to return it, but annoying nevertheless.  The ugly - the amount of packaging that this table came with was insane.  I get that they are trying to keep it from getting damaged, but it was a lot of waste to dispose of.  If we didn't have the bubble issue, I would have given this table 5 stars.
