This coffee table is beautiful.  It came in perfect condition.  I had it assembled and glad I did.  This sucker is heavy.  It does need a bit of care for the marble.  I did spill water on it and if you get it right away there is no problem. I think if you let liquid sit it might damage the top.  I have not experienced this but read it in others comments. Goes in my living room perfectly and looks a lot more expensive than the actual cost.  Everyone who sees it loves it.
