The look is actually pretty good; however, I was expecting something more solid. It is truly just cheap compressed cardboard with a nice looking laminate. If it wasn't for the $30+ to return it, I would but I guess we will keep it for a while and see how it fairs with use. I feel like it is over-priced for sure being close to $300 when I could have bought a metal and glass table for the same or even less.
