This is a great table to fit our eating space in our home. Assembly was easy and the table itself is very light weight and easy to move. It is not a solid top table, but for the price you shouldn’t expect it to be. Even though the grain direction on the side pieces of the tabletop are perpendicular to the center piece it doesn’t draw your eyes to it and doesn’t look odd at all. All in all it’s a great table and perfect size for our family and guests.
