Love the top and all the different textures in the wood. Was hoping the trestle would not be awkward, but it is. Dining guests have little elbow room to maneuver a knife and fork unless straddling a trestle footing. Positive points: paint job on the legs is very good in comparison to the companion chairs; Black metal braces make a nice statement; feels extremely sturdy. 
I would not have chosen it if I had seen it in a showroom instead of just online.
