I was really excited to receive this table.  It arrived very well packaged.  It was in a box within a box that had styrofoam around it to prevent movement.  The table itself is actually bigger than I expected which was a great surprise.  Upon inspection, I was really glad to see that the bottom of the table had little rubber pads on the metal so it won't harm my floors.  The metal base is sturdy and I really like the height of the table as well.  The top of the table is this rough, beautiful reclaimed wood.  There doesn't appear to be any type of sealant over it so it's not glossy and the wood is all natural to the touch.  I absolutely love it!  It not only goes well with my other furnishings and decor in my living room but I now have an extra table for guests, if needed, since it's so light and easy to move around.  I wish I had two of them! ;)
