this is such a beautiful table! after two defective tables (not this same one) i decided to try something that looked sturdier, heavier even thicker than the previous table i had ordered (the Chaparro) Well third time is a charm! it look like an expensive two thousand dollar table! i am beyond pleased. Just an FYI, when ordering furniture call in the order and ask for extra packaging, this way the warehouse is more carefull and you can avoid returns and refund issues. I learned this the hard way.
