This table is absolutely incredible, it's so much better than I thought it was going to be. The top is somewhat textured but I actually LOVE it!!! The only negative I would say is that the manufacturer screwed all 4 legs to the underside of the table. Leaving 36 holes in the bottom side of table. Not the biggest deal but when we're talking a $900 dollar table I think they could figure out a different way to transport them. Also the leaf to the table was stripped on one side. My husband was able to fix it with new screws after finding the original screws were broken off in the table.
