arrived damaged but was on inner shelf so we kept it, too much of a hassle to exchange it.  Packaging is not sturdy enough to go through shipping without possibility of damage.  The table is beautiful. It has a million steps, took 2 people over 2 hours to assemble.  Can tell that it's not wood when you look at it close-up but it is very heavy.  It is darker than in picture. I would purchase again.
