This coffee table it great. I purchased it for the style and shape. It is remarkably difficult to find a square balustrade coffee table. Unfortunately, the color is much darker than what is shown in the picture. I expected a natural color and it's more of a chocolate brown. That wasn't a deal-breaker for me, so I kept it. But I do wish it was a little lighter. It was a little difficult to put together as well. It didn't seem like the screws lined up on one of the legs. I had to push and pull pretty hard to get the screw to catch in the pre drilled hole. I was briefly worried that the piece was warped but I finally got it.
