I love this coffee table. It took me like 5 minutes to build, super easy! Very sturdy, I have 3 kids who love to lean against and sometimes climb on top of our coffee tables and this one is holding up nicely. Our old one ended up breaking apart almost instantly with all the abuse and it was more expensive than this one! It looks nice, exactly what I was going for! If you want that antique distressed farmhouse look this table is perfect!
