I knew when I bought this table that it wasn't a high quality item. But when I received it I was disappointed at how low the quality really was. I put it together thinking it might work for me. The wood looks like some time of pressed wood covered by some type of laminate made to look like wood. It's awful and I would be embarrassed to have this in my front room where I was hoping to put it. I would like to return it but I would have to take it apart and take it somewhere to mail and it is a bit heavy for me. I won't be buying anything else from this company.
