This isn’t the largest coffee table and I would personally find it too small for the living room. However, it works well on our patio, where we don’t need something as large. The acrylic makes it perfect for patio use as well, as it’s pretty weatherproof. It’s in perfect condition despite needing minimal protection from rain, etc. I was expecting something a bit flimsier as our patio’s acrylic side table is not the most stable in the world (though it does its job for the most part). Happily, I found that this coffee table is actually incredibly sturdy and has some weight to it. Despite its smaller size, it does feel high in quality. As a bonus, zero assembly is required. It’s a single piece - ready for use right out of the box.
