I'm happy with it. It's exactly what I expected for a reasonably priced (when I bought it on sale for around $200) side table, but would NEVER pay the $493 they say it retails for. The tabletop is overall smooth but the rustic look gives it some rough/uneven patches, which is what I wanted. Note that the metal is not solid all the way through, so it's not a heavy duty table.
For those looking for a matching coffee table, it almost matches the Hendrix Coffee Table that I purchased to go with it. The metal is the same but the shade of the wood is just slightly different, which could just be a product of different batches. It's not enough to notice if they're sitting in different areas of the room from each other.
