I needed a side table and didn't want to spend alot.  Similar higher end tables I found were twice the price.  It arrived quickly and was well packaged.  Heavy metal base is painted black not black cast and I had to use a sharpie for touch up of a chip. Table top is very pretty and a nice warm chestnut color - exactly as shown.  Easy to put together with the hex wrench included BUT one hole for the leg didn't line up.  I tried every which way but no go - - I didn't want the hassle of repackaging to return and waiting for another so I used a smaller bolt:  still very sturdy and not noticeable.  4 stars because it is not higher end and there were some minor issues but it is the perfect accent table for my vintage/industrial family room at a competitive price.
