This is a great table for the price. I do think the wood might be a little on the brittle side. Some neetsfoot oil will go along way with it. The first table we ordered came in cracked in several places. Took some pictures of it send it off to Wayfair and   boom!  We got replacement table no questions asked within a matter of days. Didn’t have to mess with returning the broken table.  You just can’t beat that service. And the price for this table is awesome.
