This "pubbie" makes for a great breakfast nook table with counter chairs. The wood is rich looking, well  finished and substantial. No "Made in China" vibe whatsoever. It looks like we've owned it for years because of the way they milled the edges and corners. Looks exactly like the picture too. Plus it has absolutely no wobble or racking if you use it on a level floor. For "insurance" I you can throw a couple of coats of poly on it. That way, as long as it's not some 4 dollar a quart organic brand, this is one table where there'll be no need to cry over spilt milk!
