This is a nice, sturdy table. There is definitely a grain on the surface but it’s got an engineered wood feel. The pro to this is that it’s got a nice polished feel and nothing seems to stain it - everything wipes up like magic. The con is that if you’re looking for a real “woody” traditional table then this might not be perfect but it does look good. I paired it with some other wayfair chairs and a wayfair bench which I think looks good!
