It's really pretty, but when we pulled it out of the packing, there is a big scratch across the top. Then, as my husband (who decided we would just use a permanent marker to fill in the scratch) was putting the connecting "C" part between the legs, BOTH pieces of wood split. Luckily, he's a handy man and fixed it with wood glue / new screws in a different location. All the while, all I could think was "this is what I get for ordering furniture online".
