THERES CRACKS ALL OVER THE TABLE TOP!!!! Just kidding! That is how its constructed, it has 3 layers of glass hence the close up detail shot they have of it. I love this table so much, I actually recommended it to a friend of mine who also likes innovative styles of home decor. He is actually talking about it to his friends also and they even may buy a whole bunch for their sports bar business! Isnt that great or what?!!
