I rarely feel compelled to write reviews, but this table went above and beyond expectations.  I had my eye on a very similar Pottery Barn table for months that was nearly 4 times the price, and just couldn't justify the expense.  This table is a steal for the price, and is absolutely gorgeous.  Assembly took my husband under an hour, and it is incredibly sturdy.  We opted to purchase the matching bench and 6 chairs, and are very glad we did.  I receive compliments on this table from everyone who visits this house.  So happy with our purchase!!
