i'm just glad i got it on sale. it ships in 2 boxes and the second box ended up at a ups access point unbeknownst to me, till the access point called and said it was there 2 weeks later. the first box contained the damaged table, which i sent back. my replacement shipment arrived all at once, also with a damaged table, but not as bad as the previous damage. like other reviewers said, it scratches easily, and the corners sort of peel a bit. for where it sits in my home, the damage is not visible. i love the ironwork and the legs tho. the tabletop is listed as brown but its actually black with brown flecks. not what i was expecting. and like other reviewers said, there were no pre-drilled holes, which was murder on my arms. i am considering the possibility of replacing the tabletop at some point with something a little more suited for my needs but for now its pretty decent. definitely wait till its on sale or till u have a coupon tho!
