Great buy. The base and top is solid wood. 2 ladies Assembled in 90 minutes. I was surprised to see MDF board needed to screw base and table top together which is why I rated it a 4. Got table on sale. I would prefer a rough top so I was not sure about purchase at first. Overall this was a winner. Perfect casual dining table for eat in kitchen. Stop thinking and get this table given you can get it at a value price. After having for a month it does scratch easy so be careful.
