Exactly what I wanted, a great rustic table.It is a bit rough and does have some knots and spaces between some of the boards that could collect crumbs. It doesn't seem to have a protective coating, so I'm not sure how it will hold up to spills. I plan on adding a top coat to help seal and protect the wood. The top doesn't feel totally solid on the base when leaned on, but I'm sure thats because of the size of the table top compared to the pedestal base.  It is a beautiful table, well built.
