This is a cute product that fits perfectly in the space I wanted it for. I waited for this to become available again and got a notification from Wayfair and I purchased it right away. The surface is a composite wood w wood like finish that is smooth and easy to wipe clean. It is “distressed” and dark in color. It is tall-I had two “shorter” pub chairs that are a few inches too short but they work so I probably won’t change it right away. I’ve found myself sitting at the table for frequently that I would’ve guessed!
