This table is absolutely gorgeous! I debated before ordering and went back and forth between this one and another table that cost about 200 more. I am sooo glad I got this one. I was worried about the color (ebony) thinking it might not be black but it is black black and the wood is solid! So solid that it was a little too heavy for my husband to flip over by himself. I don’t think you will be disappointed with this one. I’ve had a few disappointments from Wayfair but this is not one of them. Manufacturer packed it just right so that the black wasn’t rubbing and causing scuffing or scratches. It’s real wood so there are tiny imperfections that should be expected but it’s a really nice table for the price. It even looks nice with the chairs I regretted buying (from another website). I have the leaf extended and there is more than enough room for 8 chairs if you need them. You can see the extra space I have around my 6. I hope this helps if you’re contemplating the purchase!
