Very sturdy, heavy, classic, and beautiful. I receive compliments on it all the time. Only wish is that the bottom self surface would have the same texture as the top of the table, but no one will notice except for myself.

Edit Three years later, and we still love this table and continue to get compliments on it. It has scratched up a bit with toddlers running around, but it is barely noticeable with the wood grain texture of its surface. Still very happy with our purchase!
