This is a beautiful and very unique little table, however it is very cheaply made.  Assembly was easy, but after I stood it upright I realized how very flimsy it is.  Made entirely of thin, hollow metal tubes and the 2 wooden shelves are particle board that have that really plasticy look and feel.  I would definitely suggest a furniture strap securement and attach it to a wall if you have small children or cats that like to get up on things.  I honestly dont expect this to last very long.  For a house that doesnt have rambunctious kids and animals, it would be fine.  Otherwise, I suggest it be placed in a low traffic area out of the way of daily use and instead be used purely for aesthetics.
