This table is not black; it is brown.  The distressed look pictured online is completely false.  I wanted a distressed, aged/antiqued finish.  The table looks new and polished.  It is solid, and if you are looking for a mahagany finish it will work for you.  However, it is extremely top heavy and must be anchored to the wall to be safe.  The photo on the website should be taken down, and an accurate photo should be added.  We did not return the table within the window, so we are stuck with it.  I plan to paint it.
