We have only owned this table a few days so I cannot speak of longevity but we are really pleased thus far ... the tabletop has a beautiful color variance, is smooth and wipes clean easy. The leg design is unique without being overly modern ... they taper inward though so I am unable to pull my chairs in all the way - just something to keep in mind when purchasing your chairs because you may want to opt for something with a slimmer profile. Legroom is sufficient ... we are not bumping our knees on the table legs. Wayfair // Union Rustic had lowest price by a few hundred and table arrived in 3 days ... putting it together was a breeze (8 washers & screws and you're done). We are very happy with this purchase - highly recommend.
