Almost a 5 star for the price, but there was a damaged spot on the side of the table that had been painted over and a bad spot on one of the legs. No issues related to shipping because it was extremely well packaged. Table assembly  was easy, I did it by myself,  but there are lots of staples on the underside to remove.   The table and leg flaws were not big issues  for me because I have put it  against the wall in a spare bedroom and am using it as a computer table/desk. Plenty of room for my computer, printer and a writing area.  The table looks more black than dark brown.  It is attractive and very sturdy.  As a dining table it would seat 2 people comfortably.  I am very pleased with the purchase.
