When we moved to a new house, our old coffee table with its glass top was totally unsatisfactory because the amount of sunlight that came through the windows highlighted every fingerprint and smudge on the glass.  So we needed a solid top coffee table, but one that didn't look heavy or bulky for the space.  This marble top coffee table was perfect!  We love the round shape and the marble surface is flawless!  It was surprisingly not difficult to install using two people.  The packaging was superb and protected all the components.  Also, it arrived so quickly!  All in all, we are beyond pleased with this coffee table.  Now when the sunlight pours in, it makes the marble shine!
