This table is perfect for our use as a gaming table.  The color is very, very dark and I like that.  The rim of the table has some, slight gouges, which would be bad if I used it for dining or without a table cloth.  For a gaming table it is very good.  It was very easy to assemble.  You have to use their tool because the way it is constructed makes it impossible to use an electric  screw driver.  If I had to assemble this table by myself, it would have been impossible because I have issues with my hands.  Fortunately, my husband was able to assemble the legs with the included hardware (8 hex nut screws, 8 flat washers and 8 split washers).  If you plan to use this table with a table cloth, it would make a great dining table for a small area.

Update.  Our daughter just took this table for her apartment and it is perfect.  I would buy it again.
