I chose this table because of the black accenting on the poker table and around the edges of the wood. I paired it with black parson chairs and they look great around the table. I like that you can flip to a flat surface, though you will need a couple people to do so as it is a bit heavy. The quality seems great so far. Assembly was fairly simple. I was a little disappointed by the color, which was a bit darker than I expected based on the sample of the color Chestnut. It is still a great table and I am willing to forgive the color issue.
