Bought this thinking there was a glass top; my mistake.  I use the table and really love it (I have a matching dining table that DOES have a glass top).  But I was using it in the entryway for keys and mail and that didn't work at all because of the slats.  I now use it in my dining room for decoration--a fruit bowl, placemats, knick knacks, and am much happier.  Very good quality.
