This is really a sturdy and attractive table! We needed something narrow and long to tuck under a bar height counter in the kitchen that would be a kid friendly table to start feeding our kids at. This fit the space perfectly and is nicer than I expected. It's solid wood and durable so far. The table top isn't totally smooth because it has a built in leaf that you can fold out that fits in the center of the table (hard to describe). So there are seams in the middle of the table, and even more if you have the leaf extended. But the leaf is sturdy and the seams tight and flat so I have no complaints. But if you are looking for something with an unbroken/no seam look on the top, then this isn't for you.
