The table itself is Beautiful! Very heavy dark distressed wood.  And the leaves that store in the table itself is a great plus. However, I gave it 3 stars because it was very difficult to assemble and a great many of the holes and screws did not align properly. It took 3 people about 3 hours to assemble because of this.   Also there is a crack along the track used to open and close the leaves that makes it almost impossible to get the leaves back into their nesting space under the table top.   Unfortunately being that we didn't assemble this table until 2 months after it was delivered and the fact that it would be so difficult to repackage, we are making due and keeping one of the leaves permanently out of use.  A HUGE disappointment.
