I love this set, and I really like the way the coffee table lifts up so you can comfortably eat there or use it as a desk (in my case it’s perfect because I work from home most days). The only thing to watch for is that you NEED coasters for drinks. If you put your glass right down on the table and moisture appears at the base, this moisture will cause surface of the table to become uneven and “bubble up”. We have a few bubbles now that we can’t get rid of, but they’re hardly noticeable. User error on our part, although I wish it was made of a material that wouldn’t warp when it becomes wet.
