I've never purchased furniture online, and I had a bit of trepidation ordering this. I figured the reviews were solid enough that I could take the chance.  I'm so glad I did! For a solid wood table, this is such a great deal. The option to make it taller or shorter involves rotating the table top to the desired height. The top is distressed, which isn't mentioned in the information about the table. It was unexpected, but still beautiful. All of the components are well machined, no mis-drilled holes. Yes, assembly takes awhile, but this isn't exactly snapping together legos! The directions were easy enough. I added some Gorilla Glue into the dowels for extra sturdiness.

Again, this is a fantastic buy! I expect this will last for many years.

Pros: Great value, easy to assemble, 100% solid wood, classically styled
