I bought this table to cover a AC vent in a semi-formal dining room and it works great! It's the perfect depth to work as a buffet table or a side table for lamps. There are some slight ridges in the top that make it look slightly more rustic than I was planning...but not enough to return it. Other than that, it basically looks exactly like the picture. Super easy to assemble too. All the parts come numbered and the instructions are easy to follow. The whole thing took me less than an hour working alone. 

Pros: Striking in semi-formal setting...easy to assemble
Cons: Very slight ridges on the table top that I'd remove if I could...but they're barely noticeable
