been looking for a sturdy coffee table with rigid shelf underneath. Fairly easy to put together (you will need an electric screwdriver though - too awkward to do manually). Nice looking table and perfect size for my living room but big disappointment is the top - the pictures look like it is nice and flat but there are actually deep grooves cut every 10 cm which are really annoying. Probably wouldn't have bought if I'd realised but am working on a way to fill them in with wood filler.
