Very satisfied with this purchase. It looks more expensive than it is. The imitation wood looks real, even up close, and it has a wood grain texture to it. I got the gray and it is primarily a mid-gray with taupe - a cool tone, not warm. All of the pieces are heavy and substantial, and the chrome is not flimsy or cheap looking. It is higher than most coffee tables, so read the measurements to make sure it will work for your space. It took 2 of us about 20 minutes to put it together, but probably could be done by one person, and is simple enough you could assemble it even if you lost the instructions. I ordered 2 other items with this and everything arrived within 4 business days. Consider me a happy - and repeat - customer!
