I bought this beyond fabulous coffee table the smart way: I looked at over 3000 tables at four+ other online stores then bought from Great Offer Stock because the one I had to have (this one) ranged from $*** to over $*** elsewhere but I paid $***!!!
It is lower than the usual $***-*** for trunk styles due to the inexpensive materials - MDF ash veneer plywood, metal tube, metal hardware lock with a black finish and dark antique bronze finish studs. The strips are wood , not a metal. The large interior can hold 40 lbs. I is strong and sturdy.
We have a lot of expensive antique furniture, but this could be my favorite piece!! The styling is off the chart.
