Beautiful beyond expectations! I wasn't expecting this table to be as substantial and sturdy as it is and I am so pleased. My husband and I put it together which we felt was fairly easy. Unpacking was the worst part but because it was so well packed it arrived in great condition. I'd say this table is a beautiful furniture piece and worth every penny. I paired it with beige covered parsons chairs and it looks so classy. I'm expecting to have it for many years to come.
