This table is seriously gorgeous. I was hesitant after reading reviews that the wood was dark with hints of orange. I will say the wood is not nearly as light as the natural in the picture BUT it is not dark. My kitchen is white with gray tile floors and I was worried I would end up with a cheap looking dark brown table. It is perfect! Heavy duty solid wood. Great color and the distressed look is not cheesy or manufactured looking. it was so easy to to put together...The chairs took the longest but still under 30 minutes.I've had it for about three weeks now and can't quit staring at it ha! It arrived in four days as promised. I couldn't be happier! 1000% recommend!
