This is a gorgeous table. I looked at many acrylic and glass tables, all very inexpensive, but I just couldn't find the right one to go with my lovely new camel leather couches and white wool flokati rug. Suddenly it seemed stupid to buy a cheap table. Also, by reading reviews, I learned that a lot of people said that people tend to bump into the all glass or all acrylic tables. This table, indeed, was not inexpensive but it looks extremely expensive. It has the brass rim that eliminates people bumping into it, but it is still essentially clear. Delivery requires an appointment with a delivery guy, not just ups or FedEx, so a bit more of a hassle. But the delivery guy was great. It does require very minimal assembly. The top is glass and everything came in perfect condition. All that was needed was attaching the legs. Right now, the glass is dirty from food, fingerprints, and pets...and still looks gorgeous. Very pleased. I will also say this is available on another website for a lot more money and not free shipping...so definitely better to buy it here!
