Not actually crackle finish. Only has 3 small areas with crackle which look like dirty areas instead of nice finish. Would have loved it had it looked even close to what was pictured. I called and they said I could exchange it but all the console tables were finished this same way. Because it is the size I wanted, which was hard to find, I will keep it but will have to paint it. They gave me 10% back on this purchase and a 10% off coupon for future purchase.
