Great quality table. Came in 2 pieces. I received the base one day and the top the next day which was kind of weird. Super duper easy to put together. Heavy table but not so heavy that I wasn’t able to put it together myself. It’s definitely not a true dark black. More of a black with hint of very dark brown wood grain. If you didn’t have it by something true black it would probably just look black. Size is perfect for 4 chairs. Love it!
