Update-wayfair was more than fair with this purchase. The gashes became really problematic for us when it came to placing drinks on the table. If you are looking for a table that looks like an antique, this one isn’t it. The wonderful supervisor (at wayfair) and I believe that our situation may just be a one off, especially since others have been pleased with the set. The distressing just took away from what otherwise would be a perfect set, both in functionality and look.

Original review:
It’s a beautiful table. It’s sturdy and solid. The issue is that all of the pieces had defect divots and marks on it randomly(all over the 4 pieces). Wayfair was extremely fair about the situation and discounted it for us, as it’s functional. I just excepted a smooth surface.
