Overall - it's fine.  I wanted rustic and that's what I received.  I wouldn't even mind the scraped wood, except why would anyone use orangish colored wood putty on the TOP?
The bad news:  They used wood filler on the knot holes and deeper gouges.  There are others, that are not as deep, more like someone took a wide flat screwdriver and dragged it across the top.
The good news: It's solid.  It's wood.  It looks as advertised if you ignore the putty.
