Bought 8 of these for a client's employee break room that is designed to look like a rustic coffee house.  These are great - unique look, easy to put together, and fairly sturdy.  The wood top is rough and untreated, which was hard to tell from the pics, but it works.  If you needed to, you could stain the top and, ideally, finish with a coat of clear lacquer. .. I think they would look even better and hold up longer.  Overall happy with them though for the price.
