Very nice piece.  This was exactly what we were looking for,  Others have mentioned that the surface of the table is not entirely flat, which is true.  You will definitely want to use coasters with this piece.  There was an issue when this was shipped, as the table top was completely removed from the base.  Still, easy fix.  New wood screws and an impact driver and it was better than new.  In fact, you may want to do that anyway.  No removal of stars for that one for me, because it was an easy fix (3 minutes) and made the table even more durable.
