So adorable! This cat coffee table was very easy to put together, and my cats love the little nook area! The foam pad that comes with the coffee table to be put in the resting area had a strong odor upon arrival, but leaving it to air out for a few days before putting it back in the table got rid of the smell. The overall aesthetic of the coffee table is very pleasing to me. It is a light wood finish with natural-looking wood grain.
