We gave this a 4 for design, but everything else is a 3.  Table has nice weight.  It's not too heavy, but rubber knobs make it impossible to move so you'll need to pick it up.  Top looks like wood-etched metal of some kind and is definitely darker than pictured.  Bright sunlight makes it better. Table scratches INCREDIBLY easily despite our very best efforts.  We're looking into products that can help protect and fill.  Never slide items, put felt pads on everything, even laptops with rubber bumpers and use a felt or very soft cork coasters.  We don't have kids, but expect a ton of scratches in the finish if you do.
