I absolutely LOVE this table! It took a few days longer to receive it than expected but well worth the wait. It is heavy (solid wood). It came in perfect condition (no scratches or nicks). The color is dark, more towards the blacks than grays. It was easy to put together. With the easy to read step-by-step instructions we saved the fees and are able to put it towards something else. The height is comfortable with standard chairs and the base of the table is nice to prop your feet on as you eat. The table top is not smooth (more rustic) so if you have spills it is a little harder to mop up but we mostly have adults so this hasn’t been much of an issue. We can easily fit 6 people around if our group expands. I would highly recommend this table for its durability, craftsmanship and design.
