The table is described as solid wood but the table top is not.  I thought it was weird that four of the screws that attach the top were loose.  I tried to tighten them and then noticed dust coming out of the screw holes while the screw would not bit into the wood.  I like the look of the table so I thought I would secure the table top by using some corner braces and screws.  When I drilled some pilot holes, it was confirmed that the table top is indeed not solid wood.  It is some fibre board of some sort.  Anyway, the table looks nice, but be warned that the top is not solid wood.  I gave it one star because it was the only table that would work in my kitchen but the price is very steep for the poor materials.  Very cheap materials for a not-so-cheap price.  I am very disappointed.  I wish I could get a discount on the table.
