We love this coffee table! It is a little short so it's more of the modern height. The wood on the one we got original one had yellow spots in it (which is typical for this type of wood) but it was a little too yellow for us. We exchanged it and the second one we got is MUCH better. 
Also, a fun surprise is the drawer opens all the way through so you can pull it out and in OR totally remove the drawer if you want. 
Overall we are super happy with it!
