Sleek and modern
Date: 03/03/2010
Love this table. It could work in a variety of settings, from modern and artsy to clean and edgy. I found a 31.5 x 31.5 tthin piece of glass to put on the top to protect it -- can still see the beautiful material but no need for coasters or worrying about how to clean spills. Agree with the other posters: a lot of packing material, and you do need two people to put this together. For the price, it seems to be very good quality.

Just perfect...
Date: 02/15/2010
I can't believe how gorgeous this table is...I was worried it would be too low, it isn't. I was worried
it would look like concrete - it doesn't. It is darker
than the picture suggests, a dark grey, looks like
a table priced 3-4x as much. LOVE IT.

Very Happy
Date: 02/06/2010
As per description it really does look like it belongs in Wright's Fallingwater structure. You don't need two people to put it together so don't let that scare you. It's just cumbersome and awkward but can be done using gravity and rolling the table on it's side and up once put together. Can't wait to see how it ages over time, that's the fun part of this purchase!

very nice, modern-style table
Date: 01/28/2010
Elegant, modern table. The finish is a little rougher than it appears in the photo, and the color is darker than I expected - but the table itself is beautiful and you can't beat the price.
The piece would probably work best where the decor is less traditional - just because of the clean lines and modern style.
And whoever said that there were foam pieces everywhere was spot-on. The cleanup was the worst part.

Perfect for our Modern Mishmash
Date: 01/22/2010
We had a hard time deciding on a coffee table until we walked into CB2 and saw the Element Coffee Table. . .
It's a very cool, modern, sleek, natural piece of furniture. Super solid construction (it's stone and concrete afterall). It will definitely last. We also like that every table is slightly different and that over time it will have it's own unique finish due to wear and age etc. but still be solid and attractive.
If you like it and it fits your look, get it.

Totally pleased!
Date: 12/19/2009
This table constituted one of the finishing touches on the re-do of my son's so-called 'man cave.' He's a wonderful guy who's about to graduate college, and I wanted to fill his space with double-take-worthy pieces that he can take with him. We are both COMPLETELY pleased with just how perfectly it complements the overall look of the decor while still standing out. Organic, edgy, sophisticated -- it's all that and more!

rustic and natural
Date: 11/13/2009
This table is so versatile it can go with almost any decor. It adds a new texture to the room. I have been looking for a table that wasn't wood or glass, not too modern but not traditional either. This table is the perfect color, size and style for my Manhattan apartment.

Love it.
Date: 10/08/2009
Table is perfect in our small living room. Love the industrial look of the concrete as it matches our ceilings. As with others who reviewed product, packaging for shipping was excessive. Assembly was super easy with two people. Top of table seems to get streaks on it easily if you drag any sort of item on it(even coasters). Will have to invest in a concrete wax treatment product.

Simplicity at its best!
Date: 09/29/2009
I've been shopping around for the perfect coffee table to fit our small apartment living room. I loved it online and was further convinced after seeing it on the display floor at the Sunset store. So simple yet unconventional and functional. I was really pleased with delivery time (only took four days from date of purchase). We have already received compliments from neighbors!

suprising find for my living room
Date: 09/14/2009
I have been searching for a unique piece (not made of wood or glass) for my living room, and was excited to come across this coffee table from cb2. It fits perfectly in my small room, and looks warm and modern. Even with the pieces being hollowed out, it is a heavy and sturdy table (130 pounds !) Pretty easy to put together, but definitely needed 2 people.
I agree with a previous reviewer and am only giving 4 stars because, for being an "eco-friendly" product, there was packaging overload... but I don't know how the table would have arrived safely any other way.
Overall, I love it !

Great Coffee Table
Date: 09/03/2009
I bought the Elements Coffee Table for my living room, and it's a great piece. The esthetics are right up my alley: clean lines, "chunky" feel, organic colors. The table is well-made and is very easy to assemble (essentially uses a few bolts to hold the top to the base).
My one criticism, and the reason I've given the table 4 stars instead of 5, is the packaging. Now, I'm sympathetic to the fact that fragile items such as this are difficult to pack, and that underpacking or poor packing could lead to breakage, dissatisfied customers, and increased costs. Yet this one coffee table came in no fewer than 4 boxes (each half is double-boxed with styrofoam between the boxes). Copious quantities of styro are used to protect the piece, and it's the annoying, crumbly styro that breaks into a zillion electrostatically-charged pieces that stick to everything in your house and are a pain to clean up. Disposing the waste and cleaning up after assembly took me 40 minutes, and the waste from one coffee table entirely filled a 60-gallon commercial recycling bin, with a 35-gallon trash bag to spare! This despite my cutting apart the boxes to allow them to take less room in the bin. My feeling is that there's got to be a better, greener way to pack these tables. BTW, I also bought the Alpine Bed, and found the packaging similarly excessive, if not more so (that said, I love my Alpine Bed as well).
Are you listening CB2? Your loyal customers want greener packaging!

Love this table
Date: 05/22/2009
This table is as perfect in person as it looks in the catalog. It really looks like it's made out of concrete. It's two pieces - easy to assemble. I assembled it myself but it IS heavy. I have a small living room and the size is perfect. I highly recommend it.

Gorgeous Table- Not Really for Outdoors
Date: 05/08/2009
This coffee table is stunning- very modern, very rich, verysturdy. I purchased it to go on my deck in Northeast Ohio with the bask bench and julep rocker. It coordinates perfectly providing a great height for lounging.
The ONLY downside is this is not truly an outdoor table. I did not cover it right away and the finish started to chip within 2 weeks of being outside. I purchased an inexpensive grill cover to protect it and just remove to use it.

Great touch for the living room!!
Date: 03/19/2009
I needed a square table to fit in between some of the furniture and this was the perfect table. We have many grays and taupes with white and blacks in our living room and this table complimented everything so well. It also is so unique you do not see tables like this everywhere. It was a perfect fir and I would recommend this table to all.

Indoors or Out!!
Date: 03/19/2009
I love this table. It gives a room that modern edge without looking like you tried! I also love this table for outside use. It looks rugged enough to live outside for those evening BBQ's and able to withstand being pounded on by bad weather. I suggest this table for anybody who is looking for a versatile piece of furniture.
