This table is awesome! It's not only a beautiful part of our small waterfront Florida condo but helps us use space efficiently. We use the drawers for silverware, place mats and napkins; put wine and mineral water in the rack; and other items we typically have to get up and grab from the kitchen or elsewhere while entertaining on the shelves. We love it. It's gorgeous, made of great material and obviously built to last. We think it's one of the coolest tables we've ever seen and our friends think so, too.
