This table is more beautiful than even the picture shows. It is very heavy and well made. We get so many compliments on it - we absolutely love it. High quality at an exceptional price. The black paint on the lower part of the table is very well done and the top of the table blends so well with slight hues of black intricated within it. It is very striking to look at. I cannot compliment this table and the quality of it enough - it's just beautiful!
