This coffee table is stunning! I had to return another coffee table that I purchased from a "brick and mortar" store, because the table top was too dark in the room next to my charcoal-grey fireplace wall. I was lucky to find this Shaw table. The photos and the reviews helped me to make this purchase. I love the richness of the textured metal and the glass top doesn't "compete" with my fireplace wall. I highly recommend Joss & Main and this product.
