This is an extremely sturdy well value priced table. We are using it in an unconventional way, and thought long and hard about this, it is solid wood and made in Asia. The other pictures are of the Austrian Crystal Schonbek Light, for upholstered chairs from Texas  and from Agra India, a family working on renovations of the Taj Mahal, have approximately one month to completion of our 5‘ x 5‘ us meas being placed on top of this table and base. Period the selection was made for value as expressed, nature of the simple design, sturdiness, and because it is a breakfast table, one would sit with bare feet and if so desired, The 4 feet of the base are wide enough and accommodating enough to be just the right temperature and feel. If they would give any criticism, I am using double Ott steel wool to make completely smooth and apply an ash finish to complement and had wish the factory finish didn’t have a little grit in it, but not really complaining.
