I was so excited when I received this today, earlier than expected. I couldn’t wait to do a review because I was very impressed. The quality the sturdiness, the legs which a lot of wooden tables and chairs wobble. This was perfectly flat no movement whatsoever the craftsmanship is amazing. It looks like something more expensive than what it is, but of course I’m glad it wasn’t. I took the photo from a lower angle because the other photo in the review was from standing up and you couldn’t really see the height very well or appreciate the height. So I took it lower so that you can see how high it is. The diagram says is 20 inches. I may have read it wrong but it’s actually 22 inches which was better for me as an end table. The 20 inches is from the floor to the beginning of the top of the wood. The wood is 2 inches thick so that made it 22. I highly recommend this gorgeous table, especially if you have a room like mine that has a lot of wood furnishings and this definitely makes a statement.
