The table is very good looking.  The table pedestal is gorgeous.  The packaging was exceptional.  The tools included to assemble the table were high quality.   However, the table top is made of pressed wood and I expected it to be metal.  The description of the table stated "metal table" so I naturally assumed the entire table was made of metal.  This is a big disappointment as my husband is not a fan of any pressed wood products.  I'm worried that condensation from iced drink glasses may "ring" the pressed wood or cause it to lift up.  I'm considering painting the table top with polyurethane which is an extra step and inconvenience that I did not expect.
