Each of the two 45 x 21.5 inch tiers on this walnut coffee table is rated for 135 lbs, so the lower shelf can hold a stack of art books or a storage basket just as readily as the top holds a laptop and drinks. The slatted surfaces run lengthwise for a lined, mid-century texture, and screw hole covers keep the joints hidden once the table is together. A concealed crossbar under the bottom shelf stiffens the all-engineered-wood frame, which stands 18.5 inches tall and 5.5 inches off the floor for easy sweeping underneath. The 23.5-inch depth suits a sectional or a pair of loveseats, and at 38 lbs the table stays put on a rug. Wipe the finish clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Assembly is required; the package includes the coffee table and a user guide.
