We bought this classy table to make a formal-ish dining area in our breakfast room, seeking something not-too-casual but also to seat more than our immediate family. We are very pleased! It's an overall  medium shade of a cool, beautiful walnut brown with some darker and lighter shades. The design on the top surface is elegant and unique. Solid construction. Only the black base was available when we purchased it, but it works really nicely with our oiled bronze knobs, kitchen sink faucet, and deeper shades in the oak cabinets. The table's an elegant, egg-shaped oval (hopefully you can see from our oval area rug somewhat that the table's even more tapered than the rug).  We paired it with Wayfair's grey, Aldina upholstered dining chairs (6), though we also got a Wayfair pewter velvet Booneville Metal Upholstered bench to be able to seat eight when company comes! The table is just under 71" long and 43" wide, contoured by a 6'7" x 9' oval area rug with a circular/round chandelier above.
