We replaced an old broken coffee table with this one. It is excellent. It took me and my daughter 15 minutes to assemble the table. It looks very classy in my Family room, and is also very functional. The 4 stools can be used to eat dinner while watching a show on TV, and the stools open up to reveal spaces large enough to put a couple of small blankets in each stool! The only concern I have about the table is that the edges of the Table are made of the same faux leather as are the stools, and that could wear out or rip easily with use.
