This table is beautiful and solid.  I purchased it more than six months ago and waited to review to see how well it held up.  I have had to tighten the screws only once and would buy it again in a heartbeat.  We have a large sectional in a very small, square living room, so we needed something open and airy-looking to keep the space open visually.  This coffee table is perfect and looks far more expensive than it was.  Five children snack at this table and the whole family put their feet up on it when relaxing.   Sprucing up for company is painless and has the room looking luxurious and expensive again... no one would ever guess a bunch of kids were using it so functionally moments earlier.  We highly recommend this piece!
