This table is good quality, and the assembly was very easy! It arrived carefully with no noticeable defects. The legs are solid wood, and the top is veneer. We needed a dining table to get us by for the next several years, and we are a large family so purchased the large version. Love the hidden leaf. So convenient. Who wants to store table leaves in their closets The one thing I’d say is that this table is much more casual than I envisioned. Perhaps different chairs would make a difference. I would say this is more of a kitchen table than for a dining room. It is narrow, like a kitchen table would be. The top pattern is very busy and I’m going to have to get used to that. It looks like a butcher block.
