I think the table looks attractive, and it's a very good value for the money. I bought it because I wanted a smaller coffee table, and this fits the bill nicely. I don't have a huge, overstuffed sofa or a large family room, so many of the coffee tables I looked at were too high, too wide, and too long. It was surprisingly hard to find a smaller one. I also like the simple, modern design. However, this isn't real wood, which I wouldn't expect for this price, and it does appear to scratch easily. Then again, with a kid and a dog, I wasn't sure it was worth it to spend more anyway as they'll likely abuse any table a bit.
