I took a lot of time to research this table. I wanted this style, and while many sites carry this style table, most of them do not have a solid wood table top - they are mostly veneer over particle board or other material that dent easily, according to reviews.

This table top is veneer over solid wood, which I believe will help with durability. I may still put a piece of glass on top to prevent moisture rings, etc. but the table and the veneer pattern are beautiful.
