This table is sturdy and classy looking. It will definitely last a long time. I like the open shelf below the glass where you can put storage boxes or decorative elements of pretty much any size. I absolutely love the casters, which are hidden under the shelf. You cant see them on my rug, but they are great for moving the table when we set up the air mattress for guests. the edges were a little grated in a couple of areas, but nothing a sharpie couldn't fix and certainly nothing that I wouldn't have eventually done myself. I think this is my favorite coffee table that I've owned and I'm really glad that I bought it!
