I was pleasantly surprised by the look of this table. For the price I thought it might be cheap, but it's just right. The screwing tool was not very helpful and the instructions not very detailed, but it was relatively easy to put together (except for 1 screw that gave me some issues) with a regular phillips screwdriver. For the price I would recommend this table.I bought these for my living room and thought they were the perfect size. I really like that there are two shelves in each tableKind of expensive for such a simple piece of furniture, but in the end it looks way more expensive than what it actually was. Pretty content with it.Ive had this table for a few months and its doing great. Perfect size to put in the middle of my U-shaped sectional sofa. Glads is sturdy and the mirror bottom is a nice touch. Not too heavy, not too light. My fiance said it took him about 10 mins to set up by himself.Arrived promptly.Not awful to put together, though I wish they'd used larger "hex" head screws versus very-small ones that aren't included in most 'screw tip' kits. Had to use the included hex-head wrench vs. if 1mm bigger coulda used my tips & drill and done in 1/10th the time and probably tighter/stronger. Even so, assembly was easy enough, just a bit tedious.Also could have been packed better. Top edge of the table frame had lots of 'marks' on it. Just 'paint rub' marks, not actual damage & they scrubbed off okay with some household cleanser and a 'scotch-brite' type pad. But woulda been nice to avoid that task.Size exactly as stated - which means a bit on the 'small' side. But that's exactly what we were looking for - using it in our smaller-scale "den" off the kitchen versus a big 'family room'... If you need something a bit more 'petite' this is great. If you think you're getting a big-scale table for use in a large space with a large couch... learn to read dimensions.The lower shelf is a mirror, not clear 'glass'. That's not entirely apparent in the description/photos, so be sure you're okay with that. We did not realize it, but were fine with it.Absolutely beautiful end tables. They are made beautifully. There is light assembly, very quick and easy. They look gorgeous and have a very high-end look to them! So happy with this purchase!HALT = Ok before I leave a review, let me say first that I knew this coffee table had been repackaged. It had been sent back. How do I know this? Well because it had a TV remote control in the box. Why in tarnation would a coffee table require a remote control? I looked at hubby and asked "Does it move by it self?" LOL but in all honestly that really threw us for a loop-di-doo. Don't know how to return the TV remote. I'm sure whomever it belongs to they are looking under the sofa, under the chairs, excusing the kids of never putting the remote where it should go ...so forth and so on.Ok now for the review. This table is BEAUTIFUL. We needed something for the time being until we could purchase what we really wanted. We never have ever purchase furniture from Amazon. We took a chance, but also knew that coffee tables are expensive. But as I mentioned, we needed it asap because we had family coming over and the room looked naked without something in front of the sofa. So I said "Ok hubby buy it" When it arrived, looking at the box, that is where we knew the item had been repackaged. The box looked "IFFY" to me. I figured things would be broken. But it wasn't. After we struggled a bit to put it together, because nothing we do is easy - Walaaaaa...it looked beautiful. We both stood there thinking "Wow....it looks good!"The only negative is the table is a little on the small side. But we have such big furniture in that room (sofa is large, and entertainment center is med size). I don't think a large coffee table would've work, so we are pleased. I'm just adding this piece of information in case you needed something bigger. We did review the dimensions, and were ok with it.The bottom tier is a mirror and the top tier is just plain glass top. The metal is black, not sure what type (aluminum, steel or rod iron), but it seems sturdy. I probably won't put anything heavier than 10 lbs. I love it.So the end of the story is we love it and we will keep it. No need to spend $400 on the coffee table I really wanted. This is perfect. We love it. Oh I already said that. - I LOVE IT <]: )It came with a chip in the bottom mirror, but easy to assemble and it looks nice in my living room.I was really excited about receiving this product and as I was assembling the small welded piece broke and I was not able to assemble the table very disappointed at how poorly or cheaply made the table is it is not sturdyMuy bonita ??
