This table is substantial -- very sturdy with a thick top.  Easy assembly and exactly as pictured.  The black base is textured and will stand up to use.  The light wood top works with our other finishes and is okay with our maple stools.  I did not pay attention to the table height though -- I needed a table at 36" to fit with my existing counter-hgt chairs, but this table is 38" high. Awkward but not unusable. Still, love the look.

Update Nov 2022 - The buyers of our condo liked the table so much they asked us to sell it to them. And we did!
