just received this table to use in our open plan kitchen/dining room.  It is really heavy and has a beautiful soft white finish, not yellowy but not bright, bright white.  It actually matches our kitchen cabinets which can be seen from the dining area.  The table legs are beautiful and all and all the table looks like of very good quality dining table.  The finish does not have a wood grain finish, it is a shiny white finish.  We love it.
