I was very pleased when I received this coffee table. I think I looked at thousands of coffee tables -- I wanted one that was round, had a certain look, was sturdy, and large and high enough. This table was very easy for me to assemble (not a ton of tiny parts or anything), looks very high-end, and seems like it will hold up well to my toddlers; the surface is resilient and not easily scratched so far. All in all, this was an awesome buy and I'm very happy with it.
