Is the London Place cocktail table solid wood?

No. The frame is solid and manufactured wood, and the top is a birdseye maple veneer over that base with a painted platinum motif. The veneer is what gives the top its patterned look.

How big is it compared with a typical coffee table?

It measures 56 inches wide, 29 inches deep and 18.5 inches tall. That is wider and taller than many standard coffee tables, so check your sofa and rug footprint before buying.

Does it need assembly?

Yes, assembly is required. The legs and apron arrive separate from the top, so plan for some setup time on delivery day.

Will it match other Michael Amini London Place pieces?

Yes. It is part of the London Place collection, so the pearl finish and platinum accents are shared with the matching occasional and bedroom pieces.

How should I care for the veneer top?

Dust with a soft dry cloth and wipe spills promptly. Avoid harsh cleaners, and use coasters and felt pads, since the light finish and veneer show rings and scratches easily.

Is it good for a house with young kids?

It is a decorative piece with a light finish and veneer top, so it marks more easily than stone or solid wood. Families with small children may prefer a more forgiving surface.
