How do you ruin a perfectly good 'solid' wood table? Most Beachcrest Home tables have a "Purposeful Distressing - Wood Scoring & Rub Through" buried in the details.  What this means is a TEXTURED rough grooved surface.. I think it may even be a laminate as from the side of the table one area was loose (see pics) Some reviews have mentioned 'splinters' when trying to clean but what they are really feeling would be more towards a 'paper cut' as the texture does not actually splinter, but feels like that because of the DEEP GROOVES in the surface of the table.  You have been forewarned!
