I loved this coffee table online, but as I started assembling it, I noticed that it was broken in 2 places, had a tiny chip on the top, and the bottom shelf had a small spot where the varnish had come off.  I would have returned it, but the box had already been placed in a recycling bin, plus I can’t deal with yet another errand (ie return) right now as I prepare for my 16 year old’s online schooling this week, so I used gorilla glue re the 2 breaks, and I positioned this coffee table in way that you can’t see its flaws.  However, I would never sit on it as it would probably collapse in a pile of splintered twigs.  Sad, as I still like it’s style, just not the quality.
