Hmm…where to begin.  I like the style of this coffee table, but the execution is flawed.  As with a lot of “assemble yourself” furniture, the metal pre-drilled holes don’t always line up and I found myself unscrewing and adjusting to try to make it work.  The faux wood is in my opinion, awful.  It looks like laminate straight away.  There is no getting around that it looks cheap and cheaply made.  It is unfortunate because I had high hopes I found a treasure.  If that doesn’t bother you, the size is ample and it seems sturdy enough to serve its purpose.
