I bought this table to use beside a chair.  The table is beautiful and appears to be well made. I have had it less than a week so time will tell how well it wears. Interesting that initials are carved into the table (very inconspicuous); I guess that is done by the artist who makes the table. The table is oiled and I was concerned that it would stain the carpet but I put something under it to keep it from laying directly on the carpet. I trust that the statement is true that these are made from a sustainable wood source. I would not have purchased it otherwise. I would have given 5 stars but I have had it such a short period of time that I can't say how it will look after I have had it for awhile.

Pros: Besautiful
Cons: None that I know of right now.
