Beautiful table and sturdy, with a beautiful pattern. It is not smooth, it has been made to appear used in places. Base is not solid white as shown, it's more weathered looking -- luckily that was OK by me! Love the black metal accent on the bottom. I didn't like all the staples in the underside of the table where hardware and paperwork were attached -- they're hard to get out, and some were broken so they're very sharp. Delivery and assembly service were great.
