Works well for the functionality of a coffee table while not visually cluttering the space.  Sturdy considering the size of the supports. My only complaints are that it didn't come with any kind of plastic pieces to hold the glass off the metal, so we had to purchase some, and that the glass inlays inside the metal. I initially thought that would be better so that the glass wouldn't get knocked off, but it collects crumbs and dust in it, and it is difficult to clean the rim that holds the glass up. I am constantly having to take the glass top off and work the gunk off the rim and out of the crevice between it and the perimeter metal. Probably not a huge issue if you don't have kids or plan to ever have food on it.
