From the picture upon purchasing this I didn't know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality upon arrival. If you didn't want to refinish it it was nice enough that you didn't have to, but I bought it with the intention of taking advantage of the unfinished surface and stained the top and painted the bottom. I feel like the end product looks much more expensive than what I paid. Definitely happy with my decision.

Pros: Great size and quality for the price
Cons: Top didn't receive stain as well as I hoped but I probably should have sanded better
