Love this table. It fits perfectly in my breakfast nook and was easy enough to assemble. Make sure you put the wood pieces in correctly that hold up the side leaves; the circle part faces down to the ground so that you can push and pull it in easily. Ive used a white wash stain and have gotten a lot of compliments already. The wood is beautiful and it doesnt bother me at all that it is planks pieced together instead of a solid wood top. Its beautiful!
