First I love the size, lines, and shape of this coffee table. It was packaged really well, and really simple to put together with another person helping. That said, the materials are really rough. I don't know why this piece was not sanded and finished just a bit more. I understand it is supposed to be a rustic appearing piece, but I don't want splinters in my living room!  Interestingly the shelf is more finished than the the table top. I will look into sanding and finishing the top, for this price this is NOT something I should have to do. Also, one of the legs had two what look like Sharpie marks. My guess they were put there by the carpenters who cut the legs. Again, a sloppy mistake for a table at this price point. I did bring this to Wayfair's attention, and  they made it right. With a few simple tweaks this would be a five star product.
