I would give this table 4.5 starts if I could.  It is exactly as described on the website, right down to other customer reviews about appearance of finish on table top.   It was easier to assemble than most pieces of other furniture and I was able to do it alone (with a bit of effort) in about 35 minutes.  We purchased this as an everyday table for a family with elementary age children.  I think we'll get a lot of use.  I also think the price was right on point, a less expensive piece wouldn't be as durable but if this was priced above $400 it wouldn't be the best value.  It is just a basic table.  With only a central pedestal,  I do have to remind my children that the ends are not meant for for leaning (or sitting).
