I absolutely love this coffee table. It's really different from most pieces I found on my search to decorate my new apartment. I have quite a book collection and I thought this was a unique way to display some of them and gain more book storage. The top does feel a little plastic-y, but I don't mind, it will certainly hold up well to a bit of abuse as a result- I've already dropped some tools on it and there were no dents, dings, or scratches to be found! It doesn't feel or look cheap, either, despite the material the top is made of. It was really easy to put together too, and it's super sturdy! If you are looking for a more unique coffee table option, and like dark grey and black, I highly recommend considering this table!
