We had the most difficult time finding a substantial, large wood coffee table that was ROUND!  This was a little bit higher than we'd wanted, but it was worth the compromise.  The color and texture are rich and warm - and there's a lot of character to it.  It's also surprisingly sturdy (something you can never tell online).  We use it in our living room, but with the expectation that four kids under 7 are running around and it will eventually be terrific for family game nights, etc.  The wood is a bit soft (so we put the kibosh on Hot Wheels races on it) but a surprise bonus is that we found our poufs that we use for seating for the kids fit neatly underneath...

Pros: Substantial size; lots of character
Cons: Higher than you might want a coffee table; wood a bit soft
