This table was simple to put together.  I bought it for the landing of a steep, straight set of stairs.  As I walked up the steps I could clearly see the unfinished bottom of the table's surface.  I ended up using the table as a 2nd desk instead.  One last thing - the surface is not nearly as gray as I thought it would be; it's more brown.    

Pros: Looks good; heavy and sturdy
Cons: Too brown; unfinished underside of top piece
