This Dining Table is a really terrific piece for the price. Solid wood, very study and stable once assembled, and a beautiful matte/satin finish. I think it's sized just right for a small cozy dining area for 2 -- don't expect to seat 4 around the table comfortably. I was a little disappointed by the sizable ding along the edge, and corresponding shipping damage along the edge near the ding. The ding is repairable and given the cost of the table and overall quality, I'm willing to invest a little time and energy to correct the blemish. This table pairs very nicely with the chairs - the chairs are a touch darker, but they coordinate well.
