The table came with a couple of chips in the corner on one of the shelves. It made it clear that the table is made out of MDF which is heavy but cheap. The table has a distressed look to it but it looks very manufactured and not very realistic. That being said, it is a nice size table and fits well between my two easy chairs in my second home. It was also easy to put together but be advised there are no instructions at all in the box. The instructions are online on this site.
