I found this table after looking at a similar style table at a big name home decor store.  I hesitated on buying at the other store since it was $400 and I would be buying off of the website, sight unseen.  When I found this table at this price, I was skeptical of the quality.  It arrived quickly, was easy to put together and was true to the description (distressed, black).  I changed the color to an oil rubbed bronze to go better with my decor, but I knew upon ordering that would be my plan since it was black.  Overall, I saved $300 by ordering this here and soon will be ordering some of the other pieces in the collection.  Very happy with the purchase.
