I looked for three years for a new coffee table! Our previous one was a black pleather ottoman and while it served it’s purpose, I wanted a two tiered coffee table that was also easy to maintain and allowed our family the freedom to actually use it. We are winter tv people in the evenings and love to have drinks, snacks and charcuterie trays. This table is everything our family needs! It’s pretty, simple, purposeful and I love the mid century modern look! I did actually go ahead and order a piece of glass to sit on top from a local glass company where we live. I love our new table so much that I just don’t want to risk scratches. So far we’ve had no issues and we’ve had it for about a month or more. But I’m type A so to be on the safe side I decided glass would be in order. The white top wipes down easily though with a wash cloth. It’s exactly what I wanted and it’s very family friendly!
