The table is great for a small space. The table top is wood, and isn't exactly "finished". It has a rustic feel and works good in my husband's man cave. Definitely use coasters as the raw wood surface can leave marks. Simple, sturdy, and within budget. Not for meals with a lot of people, but is perfect for drinks or extra seating when entertaining. We have 4 bar stools, but this would actually be better suited as a two seater.
