Pretty much what I expected and it looks great in my living room.  Went together fairly easily, but an extra pair of hands would have been helpful.  I do wonder if the legs will get wobby over time, but it would just be a matter of tightening I hope.  The finish is great, VERY rustic, but since the lines are a bit more classic, it's a nice blend.  Others have mentioned an odor and yes, there is one, but it smells a bit like cedar to me and it's not strong or chemically.  I only gave four stars because it was a bit of a pricey piece, but having to assemble it makes me think it might not hold up long term.  Also there is a fairly large chunk out of the top.  I realize it is the character of the piece, but still feel like it detracts a bit.   The table arrived very quickly and without damage.  It was extremely well packaged.
