This table is absolutely stunning in person. Gorgeous finish and very well-constructed. Our table arrived without pre-drilled holes in the pedestal, but J&M/Wayfair went above and beyond to handle the issue. They tried sending out a furniture repair technician, but due to time conflicts, my husband ended up doing the repair himself. He was able to attach the base to the top with 6" lag screws. It is a sturdy and solid piece now. Very happy!
