I have all plans to order one of these tables for my next apartment and I'm already buying furniture based on the color I want. If the one I'm eyeing sells out before I grab, I plan to wait until Rihanna's next album goes triple-platinum because I shall not buy another coffee table but one from this brand. Am I obsessed?
