The glass design adds "visual space" to my living room area instead of the usual living room end table. Very well made and designed. Just make sure to follow the assembly instructions perfectly regarding putting on 3 legs on THEN the 2nd glass THEN finish the 4th leg with both glass shelves already in place. Otherwise you will think the last leg doesn't fit (lol) ... like I did. Highly recommend this item. Was delivered in perfect condition  !!!
