Beautiful metal pub table. Directions were visuals but clear and easy to put together within 15-30 minutes. The pub bar is made of hollow metal that’s painted white. The top seems to have some sort of white contact paper. However for the price and for its purpose, I’m satisfied. I have a small living room open to the kitchen so this is great for company. It came in one box and the outside of the box was in bubble wrap. Wayfair is a great company. I have been ordering for the past year and I have not gotten disappointed and their customer service rocks!
