I selected this table, because it had excellent reviews, for the most part, and I liked its vintage style. At 10” wide, it fits nicely into my very narrow hall. I live in an 1860 historical home, and the reclaimed wood    is just what I needed. I love the imperfections and nail holes which give it character however, other people might not appreciate this. It has been lightly sanded with no splintered wood. There is a long crack along the tabletop joint, but I’m hopeful it won’t crack further since the table is decorative, only. Finally, the weathered wood has authentic gray tones which create a soft vintage look.
