I just received this table, and while it is very sturdy and well put together the finish is awful!  Instead of a distressed look there are what look like splatters on the finish, like they laid the painted items down on the ground before they were dry and pieces peeled off.  I contacted Wayfair about the issue and they told me that's how it's supposed to look.  I've never experienced such horrible customer service.  If this isn't the look you're going for then buy a different table.
