According to other reviews it was worth the money so I took a chance.    I was very pleased when I received this table.  It was packaged very carefully and had extra packaging to ensure that the table corners were not chipped or damaged in the shipping process.  It looks awesome in our living room next to a Queen Ann style recliner.  The Merlot actually matches my other furniture very well.  


Pros: great value, durable, sturdy, looks high quality
