I looove the look of these tables but be aware that the wood is very soft and porous, it does not seem like they have been sealed. I am concerned a drip of water or anything on it will ruin it. The ridges are beautiful but make for an uneven surface, therefore even at higher risk of getting ruined. I bit the bullet and ordered a glass top for it to protect it because I love the look, However an additional 350 for just the coffee table to be protected means I might as well have purchase a solid wood table for 800. I also notice that one leg is a couple of mm shorter than the others so it wobbles.
