A marble-top accent table is needed in any home, as far as I'm concerned, and this coffee table does the job for sure. The size is perfect, the marble is beautiful, and the chrome adds a nice modern touch, while retaining a classic style. Although the marble is quite heavy, it is not impossible for it to slide off the base slightly (not FALL off, mind you, just slip off from the base). However, this does not affect my opinion of the table, and is in fact probably due to my initial placement of the pads that the marble rests upon.
