For a small dining area and because of the love of clear glass this is a 5 Star.  I loved this table so much I wanted to put a waterfall in a designer bowl on the central level to be viewed through the top, So with careful measurement I went to my local glass shop and had them cut a clear glass with protective edge to fit the top of the center decorative shelf.  It turned out FANTASTIC.  So I have customized to my taste and am totally in love with this table.  It is beautiful, sturdy, comfortably sits 2 but can also accommodate 4, buffet style. I can not rave enough but then again this is EXACTLY what I was looking for and at a very reasonable price.
