Love this coffee table. The design is somewhat unusual and I like having furniture pieces that are different from the norm.  Good quality and great price.  It actually arrived a little earlier than originally promised - awesome! It also came fully assembled, so all I had to do was remove it from the box and place it in front of my sofa.  The wood is a little distressed - but not overly so. This coffee table may be too small if you have a very large sofa but it fits perfectly in my family room.
