The table is nice. It is a little on the small side but does fit the bill for my foyer. The reason I gave it only 3 stars is because there were 2 small nicks on top of the table, one leg was poorly finished and I had to make sure it faced the back wall and one leg was slightly shorter than the rest so I have a piece of felt under the leg. I will live with all the imperfections instead of trying to pack it up and send back. If I would have sent it back I would have reordered the same table. I have a battery operated  candle on top but it would also hold a small lamp.  All in all the table is nicely carved and I really do like the shape of it.
