This rustic table is beautiful. It is well made, heavy and sturdy and will compliment any room. The top lifts to a secret compartment and a great place to store your favorite books or family albums. When the top is lifted, it is a large table that can accommodate a large array of appetizers for entertaining guests, if your room is of larger size. Be prepared for the time it will take to put it together, but you will be rewarded in the end.
