I love this table.  I have received many compliments on it also.  It was actually better than I expected for the price.  It is quite heavy and sturdy and very attractive.  It is a bit darker than I thought, but that turned out to be a benefit, as it goes really well with the pictures above it.  Some people indicated that it takes two people for assembly, but I am an over 70 woman, and I was able to do it by myself (too impatient to wait for help).  Would recommend to a friend.
