This table is great.  I most appreciate that it's solid wood and simple enough to have as a breakfast table and formal dining table.  Water was pooled on the table and yes, a water bubble appeared...but b/c it's solid wood, the bubble disappeared once dried.  My over 3k dining table with a veneer top, has bubbles from water being left and sadly, the bubbles still remain.  The price can't be beat, either!
