I really love this table. The color is beautiful, heavy and sturdy. My only concern is some of the  rough texture of the table should have been sanded enough to eliminate splinters. Several splinters caught the packing material and left fibers hanging. When attempting to remove the packing fiber, some of the splinters broke off revealing the unstained/treated wood. This will need touch up. I am also concerned my guests could get  jabbed with a splinter  when rubbing their hand across the table.
