I bought this as a coffee table for my temporary living situation. The screws used to put it together are quite obvious in the dark brown color which gives it a cheaper look, and its not the most sturdy table (although maybe I only notice this because I'm using it quite a lot working from home in quarantine), but it has the classic/simple look I was going for. I wouldn't buy this if I were looking for a longer term coffee table, but because I don't see myself having it past a year, it was what I was looking for at the price I was hoping for.
