So I went to look at coffee tables in three local stores. They were $200 to over $500 (who pays $500 for a coffee table??). The $200 ones were very cheap looking, and not sturdy. I decided to take a chance on this Coffee Table because I really loved the mid-century look. Honestly, it not only has great looks and was easy to put together, but it is sturdy. Check out my photo. Could not be happier.
