This table manages to look both elegant and modern.  It is sturdy and well designed; the quality is good for the price.  Make sure to check the measurements.  The table is narrow and not terribly long.  It suited our needs for the space, but it definitely is "compact" as far as console tables go.  We ordered the white glass top, which hides fingerprints more effectively than the clear glass.  The table doesn't stand out - it's more of a supporting design piece than a star - but also manages to elevate the look of the room with its deceptively high end look.
