Signature Design by Ashley Rafferty Ornate Round Coffee Table with Decorative Metal Base - Dark Brown Finish for Living Room, Lounge & Home Decor

I ordered 3 of these, all to be delivered to an APO address. All units arrived undamaged and within acceptable timeframes. Easy to assemble and of good quality.However, one unit did not assemble properly. No matter how many times I took it apart and put it back together, it ended up canted or warped - that is, the table top pointed in one direction and the bottom shelf in the other. Upon the fourth reassembly, I managed to get it to a point where, if placed in a less than obvious location in the house, with a magazine laying caddie cornered on the bottom shelf, it didn't look so bad. The thought of packing it back up and taking it to the APO post office during the Christmas rush weighed heavily on my decision not to return this item. I really, really should have returned it.I love this Rafferty collection by Ashley Furniture!I previously, 8 years ago, purchased the sofa, loveseat, and coffee table from the Rafferty collection. Now it was time to add to my living area but the Ashley stores no longer carry this collection, so I was delighted to find some pieces on Amazon!This table was packed will to avoid scratches and assembled very easily, with all parts included. There is a really nice feature to this table, you can slide out a little shelf which gives you extra room to work and/or place items while entertaining. (That is why you see the top has a little knob on it but it doesn't look big enough for a drawer.)The iron work is nicely done and the stud detail at the top accentuates the iron perfectly.The only note of caution I have - this will scratch or mark easily. It would not be wise to use with active children or for an active work surface. As an example - I slid out the shelf (made out of the same material and finish as the top of the table) to put my essential oil diffuser on. Apparently, as I filled my diffuser, one drop of essential oil splashed onto the surface, which I noticed about 5 minutes after the fact. I wiped it off using a dry paper towel but a shiny mark from the oil remained. I then tried a damp paper towel, which made no difference. And lastly I tried to use Murphy's oil soap to wipe it down, which still didn't matter. So months later, I'm left with a shiny oil spot which took away the natural finish from the table.Incredible bargain and great quality. Looks much more expensive and get constant complimentsI bought the Coffee table and end table thinking they were a match but the one be table doesn’t have the metal inset. And it’s a darker color. But it blends well and there was a significant difference in price compared to Ashley Furniture. I’m satisfied.I really like this coffee table. It feels solid and the metal embossing doesn’t look fake. The only problem we had is that they sent all the wrong hardware. I am having a party and wanted it set up right away. I didn’t have time to wait for them to resend the right hardware so I went to Home Depot and attempted to find the right screws. It wasn’t a perfect fit but they worked in a pinch. It’s just annoying when you’re trying to put stuff together and you’re missing pieces.We already own the two round side tables and the round coffee table and love them. I ordered this one to finish off the room and it arrived right on schedule, was so easy to put together and looks beautiful. When I was cutting the box open part of it had red packing tape on it that said hardware. When the box was opened there it was a small bag of the hardware attached to the red tape from the outside of the box. Small bags like this are easily lost and tossed with packing material so I was delighted to see they made the effort to make sure the buyer would not lose it. The 4 legs were labeled 1-4 and the bottom of the tabletop was also labeled 1-4. There was no way to mess this project up. The screws were all put together and they even included the tool. Fabulous. I have never ordered furniture online before and was uneasy after reading one of the reviews earlier but I am so thankful I did and for the price it couldn't be beat. Note that this table is not as tall as the round side tables. It wasn't an issue for me but wanted to share.This table is sturdy and a quality piece of furniture. We love it. It was easy to assemble, and fits perfectly in the space we ordered it for, which is the end of our sofa where we have a narrow space. We especially like the extended pull out which is a great place to set down a quick cup of coffee.I got a lot of complement for this cute item. Great quality, durable, and elegant. Thank you.
