I picked this one because it said “solid wood coffee table.” I was looking for a great piece of furniture. I am no furniture maker, but let me tell you why all signs point to this not being solid wood. 1. It’s hollow. 2. It made a cracking sound when we screwed in one of the legs too tight. 3. It’s perfectly smooth. 4. It’s wavy on top. I’m frustrated about this one. “Wood veneer could also technically be considered “solid wood” - just very thin wood,” said my husband.
