I was really pleased to find such an interesting table at such an affordable price. Once it arrived, I saw why it was so cheap - it's laminate. But it still looked good enough to keep. It was a pain to assemble. The instructions were left wanting. It serves as a console table in our hallway and we get compliments on how cool it looks, which is nice. It's small and tall. It definitely needs to be anchored, as it is a bit top heavy. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap cool console table.
