Almost exactly what I was hoping for!  Table was well-packed and easy to put together.  Box is REALLY heavy, but once we got the box positioned correctly and opened up, the table went together in less than half an hour.  I purchased the linen color.  It's slightly creamy--not pure white, as another reviewer has said, though more white than cream. There is some distressing on the top edges--placed strategically every 18 inches or so.  Coloring in those areas has a slight orange tint to it.  I'm guessing they were trying to make it look more like a natural finish coming from underneath, but it was done a little cheaply.  The distressing is the only reason I didn't give the table 5 stars.  It would look better without it, but for our space and uses, it'll be okay.  This is a really sturdy and solid table, and the leaf mechanism works great!
