This table came quickly and packaged very well. It was in perfect shape and not hard to put together. It says it's solid wood and looks like solid wood but for 2 pieces of wood its not that heavy so was wondering if it really was solid wood. The reason I gave it 4 stars was because the wood has a "shiny" varnished look and I would have preferred just the natural wood. Love the wood and metal together and if you are going for a modern farmhouse look (which is the rage right now) its perfect!
