I love this table-- just as lovely as it is shown in the photo.  Substantial in size, as other reviewers have noted.  It's great-- because it easily holds a lamp, magazines, remote controls, beverages, etc. without being crowded.  It's also very sturdy.  (I have 3 big dogs that love to navigate around it to investigate whatever is on the surface (LOL), and it isn't jostled at all-- it stays put!  It only took a few minutes to assemble and it's a great addition to our family room!
