This is a great item! I had some misgivings about the solidity and strength of the table, but I have to say I piled 10-15 lbs of coffee table books on it without difficulty.  The top material is a textured matte finish which is great for wine or coffee rings as well as fingerprints.  What may show most age is the highly shiny chrome legs, so we'll have to take in cleaning with no abrasives.
