We ordered this for a client and I must say that we were hesitant because we thought that the finish may look fake.  We were really pleasantly surprised when it arrived!  The delivery was on time, we arranged for them to set up, and the table was beautiful.  It was a bit darker than pictured, but not totally off - and frankly, we liked it better.  It is very sturdy, and feels substantial.   We would purchase it again!
