I knew I chose a winner the minute it came out of the box! Love the style - clean but not boring or plain; the detail trim around the table edging looks elegant. I think the photo accurately depicts the color of the finish, which was just what I needed to match other pieces in the room. Solid construction. Simple to assemble (though an extra pair of hands might make the final assembly step a bit less awkward). Perfect size and the oval shape eliminates the knee-banging corners in a small fireplace seating area. I love it when I find THE piece to pull the look that I want together.  This was one of those "finds". Love it!
