I really like the look of this table, and it was pretty eSy to assemble, but here is what could be improved: - my table top arrived with a crack in it so packaging was inadequate - some of the slate color is coming off the edges (where I put my feet - but o my with fuzzy socks so i don't think it should rub off so easily) - table could stand to be a bit heavier (it moves/turns if you accidentally hit an edge with your leg) - wooden dowels break easily - it would help if you provided at least one extra!
