My husband chose this table. I wasn’t on board until it arrived. Then.... love, love, love it!  It works well with my mish mash of moder, rustic and farmhouse decor. The legs aren’t iron. They are still great quality. Packaging and shipping was great. The rough texture is a plus for me, not a negative like other reviews. It’s big enough to seat 8 even though I’m currently only using 6 chairs.
