Table is quite nice!  Top has a ceramic tile insert in earth tones that's very understated.  Blends in with the slightly distressed brown/walnut finish of the wood and alleviates the need for coasters.  I have it in a traditional room with a walnut dresser and desk, next to an expresso metal frame poster bed with a pumpkin-colored comforter and it looks great- fits right in. Very compact, and tucks in nicely as an bedside table in the small space that I had for it.  Reasonable quality for the money.  Once it's bolted together it's sturdy and balanced.  I am very happy with this purchase.
