This table proved to be exactly what we have looked for. The height of the table matches the sofa back's size. What we didn't realize was that the table has a very slight bevel from the underside edge of the table top, which allows a very slim and sleek profile to the angular form of the table and really adds to the appearance. Solid is the word we would choose to describe this table; solid, and very easy to assemble. This table could be, and we hope it will be, an heirloom for the children because it is that sturdy and the materials stout enough to last for years. Plus, you can finish it in the manner you choose. Genuine wood throughout! Bonus!
