The top of this table is really beautiful.  It went together reasonably easy but still had to adjust some predrilled screw holes that were a little off.  The height is a plus.  Since my husband's stroke, he finds it difficult to rise from a standard height chair and table set.  I purchased swivel stools rather than the chairs shown with the table.  I also went to my local glass shop and bought a glass top for the table so I could use it without worrying about damaging the finish.  Absolutely worth doing!
