Solid quality wood, only thing I would change is the alternative, unfinished wood used for bracing in the underside corners of the tabletop. I would make them consistent with the would used in the rest of the piece (primarily for structural reasons and not b/c it looks bad as you cant see these braces/joists/girders). Other than that, the packaging is pretty messy, but can easily be improved by the manufacturer or shipping service used.
