I wish the description of this table had been a little clearer about the material used for the top. It just mentioned the finish, not what it was actually made of. Nevertheless, I really like it. The top is not wood, but I really wasn't expecting that. It's a particle board type of material. Sort of like a hollow core door. But the whole thing is surprisingly sturdy so far. I put my feet up on it all the time and it's not the least bit wobbly. And it looks pretty good. Real mid-century furniture is insanely priced at the moment, so it's nice to find a facsimile of reasonable quality for an affordable price.
