This table is gorgeous! It felt like a bit of a risk but it was totally worth it. The copper has a beautiful patina, and has more of a deep brown appearance than  the shiny penny look in the photos. It seems like it would blend well with any decor. It does sound like a big dramatic drum, but we placed a decorative tray in the center and this muted the percussiveness by 90. Just gorgeous, would buy again if I could!
