I think the coffee table is very nice. It requires the patience to put it together and follow the directions, but I was happy to see the end product. I showed several people and they thought it was really nice. The only thing I didn't understand was the "stick on" circles, which are to hide the hardware screws, don't match the finish on the wood so they are useless, and the foot protectors did not stick at all and came right off when I moved the table. The weathered markings make the finish look strange, but I like to overall white "wash" finish.
