The table is pretty much exactly what I expected from reading online description and reviews. I would agree with other reviewers that it has a slightly more gray wash to it than the photos depict. Also, the finish is a tad manufactured looking (I actually like the way the raw wood on the underside of the table looks better than the manufactured finish on top - wish they would have just sealed that and called it a day!). I really appreciate the size - I can fit at least 6 chairs around it, and could probably fit 8 if I needed to. All in all its a great, sturdy table, easy to assemble, with an attractive look. I would recommend!
