Not what I was expecting. The "distressed" finish looks unprofessional and not aesthetically pleasing -- and that is coming from someone who likes that look. We ultimately decided to keep the table since we were so desperate for one, and the room is pretty dark. However, about 2 months in, we discovered a crack/pucker on the table top. Very unclear how this damage was done as we are 2 adults and only use the table for our water glasses and the occasional book or headphones. Very low key use. Which tells me, that a small impact with one of the water glasses caused this damage. Which is frustrating and insane that something so minimal could cause that damage. And now I am outside the return window! 

So, depending on the home/room this piece will live, I do not recommend.
