This table is solid and beautiful. The storage is helpful, and the finish is subtle and rustic. The surface is rough, which I anticipate will make cleaning after meals a little tougher (crumbs or sauce stuck in the wood grain, etc.). But I’ll just get a soft bristle brush for those cases. 

The only reason it doesn’t get the fifth star is because it was very difficult to assemble. There were places we had to drill better pilot holes because the screws would NOT go in, even with a power screwdriver. We did not want to force them and split the wood, so we had to remove any progress made with the screws, drill a pilot hole, and try again. It took twice as long as it should have because of this. If the instructions said we needed a power tool, it would have gotten 5 stars. However, it says all you need for assembly is a couple hand held screwdrivers and a mallet. 
As long as you know what you’re getting into to assemble it, you’ll be just fine.
