The table is exactly what we expected and perfect for everyday use, BUT there is one major flaw- ridges in the wood. We have a toddler at home at there is nothing worse than food getting trapped in the ridges that go all along the table. If I had known, I wouldn't have purchased. We've had it for months so I've learned to live with it and have a system of using a dust buster to get out crumbs, but it is a pain and next time around, I will know better!
