The table is just as pictured. It sits in my small kitchen, but with 1 side down against 2 large windows, we sit overlooking the ocean while having breakfast and lunch!  I love the  2 shelves. I use the bottom shelf for storing my George Foreman Grill, which otherwise would take up too much countertop. Each part came in perfect condition, and assembly was fairly easy. I would have given it 5 stars, but still must make adjustments with the slides for each leaf or they will not sit flat with the table surface (probably will just involve using stick-on bumpers). Overall, I am extremely happy with this purchase.

Pros: Arrived quickly; All parts were in perfect condition; Sturdy,; Unique with shelves; lovely finish and food is wiped up easily
Cons: Slides underneath don't hold sides of table completely flat with main section without  using 'bumpers to bring level
