I LOVE this table!!  I need something solid and sturdy for my Succulent She Shed, but I needed it to be a little funky fab too, and this farmhouse stunner is it!  I chose the whitewashed base, and I think that helps a very bulky table seem slightly lighter. It was crazy easy to assemble, and luckily my measurements were on point, and she fits EXACTLY into my space, fully extended with the leaf. Absolutely beautiful hardwood top. Very pleased.
