I wanted a table for our game room and ordered this one. It was easy to put together and the detailing around the edge is very nice.  We needed a ratchet wrench to secure screws at the bottom as the enclosed tool would have taken forever.  I originally thought I wanted chairs, but right now it is tall enough just to stand around. The finish is black. I also removed the feet stoppers as these turned the table into a sling shot on wood floors and placed rubber pads instead.
