This coffee table is just the right size and color we were looking for our living room.  It's great that it has two drawers to eliminate the clutter from on top and a shelf for books and odds and ends.  It wasn't too difficult to put together. It required two people when putting the shelf on.  Our only complaint is the top surface corner is chipped and we need to repair it.  Normally, we would return a damage item for an exchange, but we had just finished putting it together and didn't want to go through taking it apart and re-packing and sending back.
