We chose this minimalist style table because we didn't want a chunky wood cube in our sectional seating area. It provides plenty of space for drinks, magazines, etc, or putting your feet up while relaxing. Went together easily and quickly. Keep in mind it is a budget table. So, no big surprise when our cat got the zoomies his toenail scratched the veneer top. Two reasons I took off a star- First, the rubber floor protectors that snap onto the rods travel if you push the table rather than picking it up to move it. Second, the center screw that comes up through where the legs cross is a bit too long and looks like it's missing a nut or cap. Overall, it's sturdy, functional, attractive, and budget-friendly.Easy to assemble. Sturdy. Beautiful
