This end table is gorgeous.  It came in one large and VERY heavy solid piece so no assembly was necessary.  The first one arrived broken where the pedestal meets the base, which I think is a weak point in the design.  As always, Wayfair customer service was the best in the business and within minutes had ordered another.  The second one arrived in perfect condition.  I will say that the top is not completely smooth as I had expected.  There are small knots or rough spots.  I don't mind that as  it fits my decor style but it may not be obvious from the manufacturer's photos.  The color is neutral with a light to medium whitewash.  As another reviewer mentioned, the pedestal is different than the one in the manufacturer's photos, so those need to be updated.  I would have preferred the more rounded pedestal but I still think the table I have is beautiful.
