Always nervous when making a substantial online furniture purchase, but this table met and exceeded our expectations. It was very easy to put together (took 2 of us just to move the table top piece, but it wasn't a struggle) and it looks great in our space. The smooth, natural finish makes it great for daily use (no rough spots to scratch arms or snag place mats). Great choice if you're looking for a larger size table as it comfortably fits 3 chairs on each side as well as an option for armed end chairs. Very happy with the purchase and value!
