Love love love the table!  Very solid, heavy, and durable.  Will last for many years to come.  Assembly was fairly easy with two people. Don't tighten screws until all parts are put together.  Table top is not totally smooth.  It's like many small wooden planks fitted together to create this beautiful table.  We also purchased the bench.  Very comfortable, not hard to sit on.  It fits perfectly under the table and will seat three adults comfortably.  Overall rustic look.  It's everything we wanted and I'm so happy we found this beautiful dining set.
