I am so surprised that I was able to purchase this coffee table for $109!—just the glass alone is worth that; I searched and glass for coffee tables that are about this size are $100 and up. And I couldn’t find black glass at all.Note that the glass is NOT see-through. It is reflective so light and objects will shine on it. The bottom of the glass is painted black, and the paint seems to be ‘unscratchable’ whatever it is made of. I love the look of it.The legs are powder-coated so they are not shiny—this was important for me as the powder-coat makes them less contemporary and less cheap looking (since they are a bit cheap).The legs are not made of iron or any heavy metal but they are sturdy enough for my needs.The suction cups could hold better, but I moistened them with some water and that made them attach a little more strongly. Once I had the table up and in use, everything seems to be staying put.You wouldn’t want young children or rambunctious animals around it much as it could be easy to tip over if is jostled or bumped against too much. The glass is heavy and the legs light so there could be that possibility, though the way the legs are positioned, it is sturdy.Assembly was super easy—you just have to look at the instructions and then at the legs and think ‘oh, okay, I got it!’ My friend happened to be here when it arrived so we did it together and that made it go fast, but I could have done it alone, too. I put some images of the process, just for reference but you’ll figure it out!There is one suction cup and one leg thing left over so that’s good.For the price, I am very pleased.Thank you for reading my reviews.
