This is advertised as a coffee table but clearly says on the packaging that it is a cocktail table.  The table is too tall for a coffee table and we have had to find another place in the house to use it.  It is my mistake for not checking the measurements before ordering it.  I had made an assumption based upon your description.  The quality and construction are very good and appropriate for the [$] price.  I should have returned it but the repackaging would have been a nightmare.
