I purchased this coffee table and console around two months ago. The paint is peeling so horribly and the black from the metal is exposed. There are gaps in the construction of the legs and crossing bar. It just looks bad and the is oxidizing at the joints. This table is not used heavily, yet is not aging well. I like the dainty look but it is extremely fragile. The frame does not appear to be strong enough to properly support the glass top without the legs bowing.
