Terrific
To be honest, I was a little uncertain about this one. The images suggest that the legs have a pretty drastic angle-in effect, a design effect I wasn't thrilled with. It seemed a bit of a gamble.
But now that it's here, I love this table. In person, the angle-in effect is much less pronounced, and gives the piece a more sophisticated lightness than many similar tables. The materials are gorgeous; where I have the piece sited, the dark grey gunmetal legs "read" as charcoal in tone. The bowtie inlay is subtle and beautiful. Note that the color and overall effect is very slightly less warm than the photo, with a less conspicuous contrast between legs and wood tone. But it's not what I would call greyish, it's just not as amber as the photo; it works beautifully in a room dominated by reclaimed chestnut flooring.
I can't speak to ease of assembly -- I asked someone else to do that -- but it is solid as a rock. Completely wonderful purchase.

Perfect Coffee Table!
I wanted a table that was well constructed, had nice, clean lines and so I found this table. I love it!

Near perfect
I love the look of this table. I may be a little picky but I had to actually look at a few to make sure the markings were what I wanted for the table. It is a sturdy table and the bow ties in the middle offer a great touch! A conversational piece for sure!

nice and sturdy
great wood (although may need to oil it...looks somewhat dry) but solid and looks expensive.

Beautiful Table!
I looked for a table like this for a long time and was so excited when I found the tux table at CB2. The detailing on the table is gorgeous. There are some natural markings on the wood - an indent here and there - and this may not be the aesthetic of others, but I think it enhances the appearance of the table.
Delivery was fast and I was impressed with how well-packaged the table was. Assembly was a cinch. Table looks great - I would definitely purchase it again.

Charcoal-Brown Coffee Table
I love the style of the table, and the grain of the wood is beautiful. The dimensions were just right for my living room. Unfortunately the color is not the "midtone" brown that is shown in the picture and referred to in the description. It is a dark charcoal-brown. Actually I loved it.... but it just didn't work with my other furniture. CB2 was very helpful with the return!

Great Table
The tux coffee table has been a good addition to my home. It is well-built and simple, but looks great.

Bold, unique, stylish; I love it.
I ordered this coffee table last week, and it arrived today. Honestly, with all of the other furniture that I ordered online, I had forgotten how beautiful the detailing looked on the product photos online... fantastic craftsmanship on the 'bowtie' inlay on the table, and once assembled it's sturdy as a rock.
Assembly took minimal effort, and with a threaded socket embedded in the underside of the wood, I could easily drive the screws in by hand, while only using the hex key to firmly tighten in the end.
All said and done, the table looks just stunning in my still-quite-barren apartment, but with hard wood floors and tall airy ceilings, your eyes are drawn immediately to this excellent piece of craftsmanship. Well done, CB2. This was my first purchase from the brand; I'll certainly be back for more!
