This is a beautiful table. The construction feels extremely solid and stable, and I'm almost entirely satisfied with it. The only thing that irritated me was the massive quantity of styrofoam the vendor used to package the base. This sounds like a petty thing to be bothered by, but it was seriously unnecessary bordering on absurd. I'm including a photo showing all the packaging that was involved in shipping this table. The base came fully assembled, and literally all the space in the box that wasn't occupied by the base was occupied by massive styrofoam blocks. 

I live in a place where garbage capacity is expensive, so it will take me weeks to get rid of all the unnecessary (and non-recyclable) packaging. I hope the vendor will consider doing what many vendors have done and switch to a recyclable form of packaging such as cardboard pads.
