This table arrived so quickly and it was just as beautiful as the picture suggested. It is sturdy and while it is gold leaf, it isn't brassy or showy - a very subdued gilded look. The best part was that I saw this same table on another web site the very next day after I had placed my order and it was 20% less expensive. I called Wayfair immediately. Without hesitation the rep checked the other site and without any fuss matched their lower price. I am totally thrilled with the entire experience and the product! Fantastic customer service and they delivered what they promised within a couple of days!
