This coffee table is well constructed and was a great purchase for the money.  I am giving this 3 stars because our table was much more colorful than expected. It arrived with a very bright blue stripe on one side, a white stripe in the middle, and a bright green stripe on the other side.  I was expecting the finish to be much more rustic and even versus the bright colors we saw when it arrived.  Due to the bright colors, the piece will not work in the space intended.  Fortunately, my daughter needed a small table for her apartment and she happily took this piece.
