At first I didn't like it. It arrived half in and half out of the box with no padding or protection. Hence the table was damaged. I managed to collect all of the broken pieces, glued it back together and then I oiled it. The style was a bit more 'rustic' than I expected; lots of visible glue. But now that it is together, oiled and in place, I like it. Expect it to be a bit rougher/rustic style than it looks in the photo.
