The line that defines this 39.5 in x 19.5 in x 18 in table is the arch. Instead of dropping straight down at the corners, the metal frame sweeps into a curve between the top and the floor, which is what keeps a two-tier piece from looking like a stacked box and gives the sleek profile its shape. Above it sits a marble-patterned surface in white, the veining doing the work that real stone would at several times the weight and price. That top carries up to 110 lbs, and it is finished smooth and waterproof, so a spilled glass sits on the surface and wipes away instead of soaking into a seam. Real marble is porous and stains from wine or coffee; a sealed patterned top does not have that problem. The second tier is a raised bottom shelf that doubles the usable area without closing the frame in, keeping books, remotes and trays off the main surface. Because it is lifted rather than sitting near the floor, there is genuine room to run a vacuum or a mop underneath instead of working around a low ledge. The frame is heavy-duty painted steel, rustproof and rigid enough that the whole table weighs only 26 lbs, and each foot carries an adjustable pad that levels out an uneven floor and prevents scratches at the same time. Finishes offered are White with Golden, White with Black, Dark Brown, Rustic Brown and Oak. An installation guide is included with one coffee table and one user manual.
