I was hesitant as I saw some unhappy customers but my items are excellent. It’s a very cool coffee table & the double table gives great options. I don’t find it to feel hollow but it isn’t a giant chunk of wood. The only thing to know is it is not smooth on top. Those wooden circles are elevated. Not too much that things can’t rest on table but you’d want coasters for drinking glasses with narrow bottoms.These tables were absolutely perfect for our sunroom! Easy to assemble, very solid, and the carved top is beautifully done! The only thing to be aware of is that the tops don't appear to have any protective coating. I use coasters to prevent any water stains, but they could easily be stained or coated for added protection!Very fragile table, not real hardwood. Unfortunately the box and the table arrived damaged. Returning to Amazon. If the price was $150 I would ask for a replacement, but $250 is not worth it. The design looks good, but wouldn’t last long.Looks great, very modernThe search for the perfect coffee table felt so boring until I found this set! It’s absolutely gorgeous and so unique. It was the perfect fit for my living room. So easy to put together and the packaging was efficient.I like the table set, looks beutiful, it looked too pale out of the box. I applied mineral oil on the wood so the fibers appear better and table has now a darker shine. Mineral oil also helps protecting the surface from stains. Only concern is that the wood is not hard so it is easy to dent the surface. It becomes a statement piece in my living room where most of the furniture is from CB2.
