I purchased this because I was looking for a coffee table to liven up my living room.  I saw this and I absolutely loved it.  Not only is the price right, but the color and style are fantastic.  It is made of particle board so it is a bit on the cheap side, but it doesn't look cheap.  I did wish it had a bit more weight to it.  I would definitely liven it up with a nice centerpiece.  Otherwise, I really like this.
