I have rather plain gray loveseats and chairs in my living room and wanted a red table to accent this. I looked at many, many tables on the web, modern, traditional, country and Asian. I really liked an antique Chinese table with figures of a Chinese festival on the top but at $$$$ it was way out of my budget. I saw this table on several sites, ranging in price from $$$ to $$$. Then I saw this one, which I believe is the identical item, for $$$ on Great Offer Stock. When it arriv esd I found it was indeed the same item, and this price was much more appropriate. While the top is highly finished, the base was obviously made separately and it quite rough. It works fine in my room but would not have been worth the higher price. Thank you Great Offer Stock (but would you stop sending me ads highlighting this item - I've already bought it <grin>. This was my first purchase from Great Offer Stock and I did so well I'll look again for other items.
