I am surprised that all of the negative reviews are from people who can't understand that white is not clear, and that rectangular is not square. The description is explained in detail, and is accurate. The glass top is very sturdy and the leaf extension mechanism is well thought out and perfectly executed. A minor flaw in the product I received is that the white frosting on the underside of the top glass at each corner has been scratched away, probably from rubbing on something during transit. Perhaps the manufacturer will put a protective plastic piece on them to remedy the problem. Overall I am pleased with the product.
