It is the perfect coffee table. Plenty of storage between the drawers and the shelf to hide remotes, game controllers, etc. I ordered it in the gray, and it looks great. It does not have the distressed look (which I'm happy about) and is clean, sturdy, and heavy. I ordered some different hardware, although the hardware that came with it was fine! It was very simple to put together--I had it together in 10 minutes. Wonderful purchase for the price!
