I cannot say enough good things about this table. I use it as a desk. I sit in an Ekornes Stressless chair and video chat all day for work. The table is a perfect height for my laptop camera (no need to rig the camera higher/lower). Because there isn't a crossbar underneath of the table, the ottoman nestles perfectly. The table is solid and very well made. I typically sit cups of tea, water, etc... (without a coaster) and often spill said beverages as well and after about 6 months the table top still looks flawless. It is the best purchase I have had on wayfair. This table will last a lifetime.
