We find this table to be very sturdy and well-made. It is quite attractive and seems to be made of high-quality materials. There is a protective coating over the top to resist stains. Table legs are even; no annoying leaning. Very stable. No nicks or other damage on delivery. We wanted a larger table for entertaining (it can seat six), but it is not too large for our smallish dining area. It really brightens up the room. The only downside: the hardware was missing, but the manufacturer responded immediately and sent out the needed parts right away. We are very pleased with our purchase.
