I like the style of the table.  I did refinish it myself and it looks good but not great.  The wood does not accept stain easily and I used a pre-stain product from Minwax to open up the wood.  Other reviews did note it did not accept stain well.  I stained the top and it was a challenge with a few coats of stain.  The sides I painted and they were fairly easy.  It's a very solid piece once put together.
