PROS: The absolute best thing about this table was how easy it was to put together.  Less than an hour with one person assembling it.  Has a more rustic appearance than the photo reveals.  But that's ok with me. I like that.  Makes it look more "hand made" than manufactured. Very sturdy. CON: Great table. I like it a lot. I just think it's more of a $300 table than a $500 or $600 table.
