The table is perfect for the laundry folding station in my laundry room. The finish on the top was a bit rough but I used a bit of 1000 grit sandpaper and it smoothed out nicely. However, when I wiped it down with a beeswax finish,  the stain kind of rubbed off. I’m not sure how this would hold up as a dining table. It also had kind of a funky smell to it. I think it is from an oil used on the metal hardware. But it works well for my laundry room.
