This is a great size coffee table for 2 people. It's very well-built, as expected of Novogratz. This isn't my first furniture from this brand. I have to say that their quality and materials are always better than I expected. There's never an unexpected sharp piece sticking out, never a falling part, never a wobbly piece… Anyways, back to this coffee table… It's sleek, stylish, and modern. It's colors and touch are really nice and smooth. Wiping it was a breeze! We keep coasters on the coffee table, so I don't really give it any chance to form any kind of water stains. However, we did eat some hot food and left a soda on it during dinner, and the grease, stains, and such wipe off very easily. The design is circular, with 3 legs, so it doesn't really matter how you position the coffee table, as it is, well, a round coffee table! I like that this coffee table is just heavy enough to stay in place and feel truly sturdy, but just light enough to have no problem moving it around. The legs on the table doesn't scratch the surfaces of my wood floor, which is a plus, because we do slide the table around quite a lot, depending if we want to place our feet on top of it when watching TV. Assembly was also really easy for me, that only 1 single person is needed for this job. It arrived in a flat box. I'm a 120 lbs woman, and was able to carry this in to the house without a problem. The item comes with all the tools necessary for assembling, which took me about 15 minutes to do. The instruction manual is like 1 page and done, but because it was such an EASY assembly, the picture instruction was really self-explanatory. Overall, this is a very sleek, stylish, modern, and smooth piece of furniture that is fit for a small to medium-sized living area. The modern and simple design of it really brings out the clean, refreshing, uncluttered look for our living room!
