I am pleased with this table. I have to say that I painted  the base in gold and it looks really good!  It looks like a million box:) I am impressed by the thickness of the glass; I did not expect as much for the Price. It looks modern and it fits well in our small Space. It doesn't take much space visually. I had a lot of compliments for it so far and people are stunned when i Tell them how much I paied for it! Of course, No tools are required to assemble the base. knowing that the base is not the best but still solid, I am happy with this purchase and would recommend it.
