The coffee table looks good and was easy to assemble once I read the directions carefully. It fits well in my small living room, and I like the shelf on the bottom for placing books and magazines. On the downside, once I had assembled the table (upside down) and turned it over, I noticed a dent on the edge of the table top. I thought it was a solid wood top, but once I re-read the description, I saw that it's actually a veneer, and so it may start flaking after time around the dent. Make note of the fact that the top is a veneer, and be sure and check all the pieces for damage BEFORE you start assembling the table.
