Once assembled, this is a nice looking coffee table. Assembly is a little problematic as many have stated in their reviews, as the leg connector pieces are physically too large to fit the actual legs. I had to trim down the connectors with a pen knife to reduce interference, which was a little tedious. I purchased this with the knowledge that I might have to fiddle with it during assembly thanks to prior reviewers.

The "Tempered" etching on the underside of the glass is fairly unobtrusive in my opinion, and nothing that a coffee table book or similar can't cover if it bothers you.
