The look, height, and size of this table is wonderful. It is sturdy plastic. It was easy To put together in 5 min or less. The top screws off to allow storage inside, but takes a bit of organizing or gentle twisting to get it aligned properly and put back on. Not a big deal if it is occasionally,  if you were doing on a real regular basis probably a bit pesky. I am just storing a blanket and pillow and only need that occasionally. The top has ridges and texture on it, but that does not affect glass stability. Even a wine glass is good! It may get dirt in eventually and need a scrub vs a flat surface you could wipe off easier. I am super happy with the gray/brown look, texture, use, and how long lasting this piece feels. Definitely recommend.
