We bought this table to use as an office conference table.  We love the look, but I'd think about what you're using it for before buying.  The finish is rugged, not smooth.  Around the screws the wood is a little splintery, could easily snag something, so could see that being annoying if actually using as a dining table.  The wood is varied throughout, which is part of the look, but some chunks look like the filled in a hole with a random square.  The only bit I'm really unhappy with is there is a weird stain on one of the extensions - it looks like a sticky residue, but doesn't wipe off, and it's not part of the wood, so not sure what it is!  If I were buying for my home, I'd be asking for a replacement extension piece.  But, overall, it's a good looking piece, a little rustic which is what we were going for, so does the job!
