Ok, let me start by saying the table is beautiful.....however, it came out of the box with a huge gouge in the top of the table! I guess it's safe to assume it was damaged in transit.....which by the way, took longer than I had expected. It was purchased on line 2/9/16 and arrived today 2/29/16. I was looking forward to it gracing my entryway. Now I have to cover what I didn't want to cover just to hide the gouged wood.
