I am pleased with this coffee table! The reviews I read were right...directions left a little bit to be desired.  We put it together completely backwards at first and fully thought we followed the directions to a Tee! Otherwise, it's a sturdy, heavy piece.  The only detractor is that the coloring is a STICKER.  How did I know? I must have scuffed one of the legs and tore it.  Thank GOD for the package of round stickers they provide to cover up. I couldn't figure out why at first!
