The table was described as solid wood and I expected to get a sturdy table.  The table is not constructed as it appears.  The top is made from thin pieces of wood that are thicker on the edges and end to give the appearance of a butcherblock type top.  The surface of the table isn't smooth or sealed with a shiny product which helps the aesthetic , but I don't think it will hold up long term to scuffs and spills.  I may put some type of oil or sealant to protect it, but I'm unsure how it will turn out.  Had I seen the table in person, I wouldn't have bought it.  Only after ordering did I learn that Birch Lane is part of Wayfair. It's on par with the cheap disposable furniture sold by Wayfair or other big box stores.
