I love the style and size of this table, and the fact it has a leaf to make it even bigger.  The size is perfect for our family of 6 to sit comfortably and has the ability to become larger to accommodate guests.  Unfortunately it shows every single nick and mark where it then removes the stain completely.  We've had this less than a year and it looks at least 5 years old now :(  Also because there's no protective finish on the top, you have to be careful rubbing your hand against the table top as we have gotten splinters from it.
