Love the table. We wanted something a little rugged looking for our family of 6 so we wouldn't worry about the extra wear and tear from having a big family.  I would say the finish is a little on the green side, but I like it. Also, there are gals between the boards that like to catch crumbs. But I already knew about that and it's the least of my worries. We LOVE sitting around it. I can see all the little faces of my family, and there's plenty of room for all of us.
