Is the BDI Terrace Square Coffee Table worth it?

It suits buyers who want a large, modern glass-and-metal table with built-in storage. If you need something light or easy to move, a wood or smaller table is a better fit.

How big is it compared with a typical coffee table?

At 44 inches square and 16.25 inches tall, it is larger than most rectangular coffee tables. Measure your seating area first, since it needs clear space on all sides.

Does it need assembly?

Yes. The table ships unassembled and includes four floor levelers. Plan for two people because of the weight.

Is the glass top safe for daily use?

The top is polished tempered glass, which is more impact-resistant than standard glass. It still scratches and smudges, so use coasters and a soft cloth.

How much weight can it hold?

BDI rates the table at 145 lb total capacity. That is fine for trays, books and decor, but not for sitting or standing on it.

What is included in the box?

The box contains the table components, the hardwood veneer shelf and four floor levelers. Tools for assembly are not listed, so have a screwdriver handy.
