The top of the table is wood, but of very low quality, there are major defects (I guess that's how it left the factory...), but I wanted real wood and not a laminate and that what I could afford. I really like the design of the table, and it is on the smaller side which is what I wanted since I have a small space. It is lightweight, enough for one person to easily move it around. Overall I think it's a nice table for the price.
