We have only had the table for a week right now, and everything is GREAT! It was easy to put together and fits in our space nicely. The other reviews were correct in that it is darker in person than the picture depicts it to be. Fortunately, we have a lot of light in our dining area to help lighten it up. I love the characteristic of the top. It's not a completely smooth top which I like about it. It adds a little extra style to it.
