First, this is far from a quality piece of furniture. But, I love the design and I am sure it will serve me for many years, the black part is wood and the gold in metal so it will be easy to touch up as needed. 

Pros: Nice looking table or a plant stand for me. Plus there is quite a large compartment to store what ever you want.
Cons: This isn't really a con, just a heads up when assembling that it IS important to install the legs as instructed.
