This table looks much, much better in person than online!! It was difficult to show how much nicer in person it is with the pictures, no matter what angle. It looks much more expensive than what the price is! The top actually looks like real wood, and others think it is. The top does have  some very, very mild reddish tones. I don't like anything with red undertones in it, but with this table it isn't very noticeable. It looks much more red in the pictures than in person. It arrived via FedEx with only one small wood piece that you screw the legs in being cracked/split. We fixed it with wood glue just to make sure the leg remained stable, even though it was one of two going to the leg. The rest of the table was in pristine condition!! I still can't believe the cost versus how nice this is!! Definitely recommend it!
