This is a gorgeous table and made of solid, high quality materials.  I love the contrasting color between the top and the legs.  My one complaint after owning this table for several days is that it can be a bit tight if you are trying to cross your legs (it is still possible but you have to be careful).  The extra space taken up by the leaf mechanism and leaf storage make it almost too tight to comfortably cross your legs, and there are protruding pieces of wood that you can hit your knee on underneath if you're not careful.  I'm a small person, so I can imagine for a larger person it might be even more difficult.  It's not a deal breaker and I'm sure I'll get used to it, but should be a consideration for potential buyers if you like absolutely have to cross your legs.  If you don't store the leaf underneath, that will give you an extra inch of space.
