I WAS HAPPY WITH THIS TABLE.  I OWN THE EXPENSIVE BRAND ONE ALSO, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN WEIGHT BUT FROM A DISTANCE YOU CAN'T TELL WHIICH IS WHICH.  I ALSO SPRAYED PAINTED MINE ALL BLACK AS I DIDN'T CARE FOR THE SILVER STREAKS.  I AM A 70 YEAR OLD WOMAN AND IT ONLY TOOK ME ABOUT 1/2 HOUR TO ASSEMBLE.  I AM VERY PLEASED WITH IT.
