I've been quite happy with my purchases from Wayfair up to now. However, all good things come to an end. While I liked the size and shape of the table and it was super easy to put together, the finish on it is horrible. The distressed look has a "plastic" feel. The table top, shelf and legs looks like they were molded from plastic and not made from wood. The surface is raised, bumpy in fact, as if paint stripper was used, left to bubble up and instead of removing it , was just painted over - and the paint is shiny! There were a few areas were the paint was chipped off and the white primer beneath it showed through. 

If I could figure out how to get it back into the box I would return the table. Instead, I might try to lightly sand down the finish to at the least remove some of the shine. If that fails I'll round up some knickknacks, books and whatever to cover up the ugly finish.
