We initially had issues with the ordering of the table but after 2 months and two orders later, we received the table. The table came packaged very well with no damage. This table is rustic and doesn’t have a smooth surface...hence rustic. It is a bit wobbly from where the table top meets the base and there doesn’t seem to be anything about it. It is tightened down all the way. The table is what I was looking for. We have kids and they can’t “ruin” thos table as any added imperfections just add to the “character” of this table. I ordered black distressed wood chairs and they go great with the finish!
