This table is extremely distressed and rough to the touch. Seems like they pretty much nailed pieces of raw wood together. The distressed ridges are over the top to the point where it feels like you might get a splinter running your hand over it. There were big chunks missing on some of the slats, so it gave a very uneven appearance, and some of the wood was a darker gray like it had been rotted before production. I wish I had a picture to upload, but I was just so eager to get it out of my house. It was that bad.
