I bought the Ty Pennington Style Coffee Table for my son's new house as a house-warming gift. Not only was it well-received, but It turned out to be well-designed and of good quality. There is absolutely NO problem with its length or proportions. The tabletop is sturdy and heavy and I suspect will withstand lots of abuse in its new home. The chrome legs look stunning and fit well with the clean lines of the furnishings in is home. A good purchase.
