I put this table in front of my 9ft couch.  It is a large table but fits the space nicely.  It is heavy and solid.  It has a small amount of gloss to the finish, so if you are looking for a matte finish this is not it.  The color is pretty consistent with the image, maybe just a hint more grey in person.  Easy to assemble but HEAVY.  This thing came in two shipments and quickly!
