I don't drink coffee for this to be a coffee table but I really l like the design.... the top surface glass is what sold me...  It is pretty easy to assemble but what disappointed me was the 3 star manufacture execution...  the plasitc legs screw on easily but seem cheap. the bottom and top surfaces are probably laimate particle board as are the cross supports.  Seems to me they could have bumped up the quality of some of the pieces to make it a much more robust piece of furniture but regardless I sill find the design attractive with more than enough space/room for my piles....
