The table is heavy and solid and it looks nice.  Upon closer examination it is not a solid high quality wood table.  I understand that for a "real" wood table I would be paying twice the price I paid but for what I received, I think it is overpriced...maybe worth about $600.  The table top almost looks like a resin finish.  There are a couple of what look like drips of the antiquing finish on the table top.  There was slight damage from shipping on the base and slight splintering along the top edge of the tabletop.  I had to use glue to fix otherwise it could easily catch someone's skin.  If I had tried to pull splintering off it would have looked very obvious.  
Aside from all of this, it is a good looking table.  You should just know what you are (over)paying for.
