I purchased this for my new apartment because it seemed like the perfect look I was going for. I was not disappointed! This table was easy to put together (took about 20 minutes) and is very sturdy from what I can tell. It also is one of the few things that I can say looked like the picture. I was concerned when I ordered because I had seen previous comments about possible damage when it's shipped, but it looks like they have figured out a way to correct that problem. I went with the wood top instead of white to add contrast and the top is of very high quality. I am impressed and know that this will be a piece of furniture that I will enjoy for years to come. I highly recommend this for anyone! Shipping takes a bit longer, but when you receive it, you instantly know it is worth every penny and every minute of waiting.
