Solid and well made with none of the stability problems noted by reviewers in cheaper tables . It’s top is also more resilient and forgiving of impacts and spills that might well mar the surfaces of lesser tables. I had a less expensive one for the past 45 years but it couldn’t and didn’t hold up in a short-term rental apartment. I have every confidence this one will be able to do so, based on ease of assembly, stability and testing it with spills- that clean up easily with no staining at all. Well worth the extra cost.
