Hello George Oliver, this dining table is beautiful, sleek, and un-invasive. I am very pleased with this purchase because it is precisely how I viewed it on-line, and more. The legs are a slender wooden metal with adorable round silver feet. The only drawback that I have found about this dining table is that in assembly there is only a lightly guided instruction page which led to a wobbly table, which required more time invested in balancing the legs correctly for it to stand balanced evenly. The table is worth your price. (Although, I did see it elsewhere for less, after I bought it).
