I purchased this table in the gray finish and it is beautiful. The gray is true to color in photo.  It took me about an hour to assemble but had to get assistance with flipping the table over as it is very heavy. The wood top is well made and shipped separately. I received the top about a week after receiving the base of the table. The table top scratches easily but same as most wood surfaces. I’m confident the quality will withstand many years of use from my 3 children. We’ve had a few spills on the table In addition to a hot pot with no permanent damage. Overall this table is much better quality than 95% of tables I’ve seen at local furniture stores and is much cheaper than comparable solid wood tables.
