We have received this item 3 times now because it keeps arriving with defects. Wayfair keeps shipping us a new tabletop, and the new one usually arrives worse than the last.  I'm sure this is a manufacturer problem, and not wayfair or Shippimg (UPS) because the box arrives in great condition and I've seen UPS gently set it on my doorstep every time. The last two times I received the table, there were "chips" or dents in the leaf- see pictures.  The dents really stand out because the table is so dark (nearly black) and who wants to always have to cover the table with a tablecloth or runner?  I have been very satisfied with Wayfars customer service, I would just stay away from this table!
