I really like the table and the pedestal.  It is very easy to seat 5 people and your legs don't intertwine underneath like most tables that have legs.  My only complaint is the color of the finish.  It doesn't really match anything in my room.  It's not a natural looking wood finish.  However it is sealed and easy to clean.  I'm going to take a sander to it and then restain it and varnish it and it will beautiful.  I'd buy it again knowing that it would need a little tweaking to meet my decor needs.  So that being said, don't hesitate to buy it and put a little work into it.  You won't find anything like it anywhere else for the price and it is very sturdy and solid.
