This is my dream coffee table! It's quite sizeable, and we like that since our sofa is a bit larger. Our old table was pretty, but dwarfed by the sofa. I wanted something "airy" so the open shelves were perfect. The wood planks go vertical on the top shelf and horizontal on the bottom which adds to the cottage feel. As you can see from my photo there's lots of room for pretties, or a nice charcuterie tray and wine. Also, it's super easy to put together, stack one shelf then screw in the legs, no tools needed. Some have mentioned they feel it's off white, mine is perfectly white. And I'm a stickler for having white and not "off white". Overall very happy
