This furniture is built pretty solid. Just the weight of the table top and drawers surprised me but because I'm attracted to quality, I don't mind the weight. Note however it's really not SOLID wood in it's entirety which is getting nearly impossible to find if not made by the Amish. The size of the table should be considered as it was bigger than I was use to for a coffee table. Will it make your couch look smaller? Maybe...  It does also have a green hue to the taupe-like gray so be aware.
