This table is very nice looking in person, however the wood is EXTREMELY fragile and will scratch or nick with the slightest amount of pressure. I would not recommend this table for anyone with kids or pets, which would likely destroy this table very quickly. Even a box of tissues on the table will create tiny scratches in the surface. Its kind of pointless as a coffee table if you imagine putting things on it unless you have some type of protective covering. Also the lift top feature way too high to be comfortable at any couch height.
