I fell in love with this table and was impressed when it arrived. It was easy to assemble, looks just like the photos online, and looked beautiful in our dining room. HOWEVER- About 1 week after receiving and assembling the table, we heard a loud cracking noise from the table as we stood in the next room over. Due to the dry winter weather (we’re in Wisconsin), the table spontaneously split right down the middle. If I hadn’t witnessed it myself, I wouldn’t have believed it. It’s important to note that we haven’t used the table at all yet, haven’t placed anything on it, etc. After some research on hardwood table design, it became clear that the way the table is engineered is no match for a dry climate, as the real wood isn’t allowed adequate space to “move” as the climate fluctuates. Please keep this in mind before purchasing. I am pretty sad about it, as I was so excited to finally have our first piece of real furniture in our new home.
