I did not expect the craftsmanship to be as fine as this piece turned out to be. Everything is high quality and I am delighted. My living room is very formal but eclectic. I have a  1930s reupholstered sofa and solid wood Italian 1950s double tiered coffee and end tables with antique wood country French chairs.  Though this is contemporary it also has a bit of old world charm. Perfect at the foot of both chairs and in purple to accent the room.  Love these!
