I like this table, using it for an entry way.  Purchased in blue to break up the monotony of the gray coloring decor.  I use it to throw keys and mail onto when i walk in the door.  Its bigger than you think, nice and heavy.  I also have an end table, same series.  the finish seems to be holding up well, have been using it for my hot coffee, no coasters.  Need to buy some coasters.
