Beautiful table, but not a piece of "fine furniture".   The underside of the table needs to be sanded--it's quite a bit rougher than the top.   It definitely needs a few coats of boiled linseed oil.  Or perhaps tung oil.  I like the heft of it though and despite the heaviness of it, I was able to assemble it myself, despite being a 76 year old woman.  (I got help turning the table over a couple of times so I could apply the linseed oil).  With care, I hope it will last several years.
