This little table is lovely and I am so pleased with it. I had my eye on a table just like it from another high end retailer but it sold out. I decided to do a web search for something equivalent and found this table at about $100 less than the sale price of other retailer. I chose not to put the bottom shelf on the table and I love the look but when I feel like a new look, I have the option of adding the shelf and I'll have a whole new table!
