This is a really beautiful table!  The top has a smooth and shiny gloss finish that appears very durable, though we've only had it a week.  The base has a sleek enamel finish and is made of a heavy and sturdy metal that does not wobble.  We ordered the 39.5" diameter for our kitchen nook.  It arrived in two separate shipping boxes and assembled very easily, but did require two people to lift the table top onto the base.
