To be honest, I don't like coffee tables but needed something in front of the couch.  This one works just fine and is fairly unobtrusive. It is small and that is what I wanted - it fits nicely in the space but does somehow feel smaller than the dimensions (it's not) I think I would have liked it to be a little higher.  It is a solid coffee table that comes already put together so you just take it out of the box.  The top feels a little cheap and because it's on a wire base, you get an interesting sound when you put heavy things on the table.
