This table is beautiful!! It’s solid, heavy wood which made it a 2-man job to assemble. The surface of the table is textured with the grain of the wood, which I loved! I read other reviews here that said the grain of the leaf didn’t match the table grain... but I didn’t have that problem. I gave it 4 stars because there was a cut in the box that scratched the table top, but it’s easy to cover based on where it is. Great buy!!!!!
