This dining table is perfect for me. It looks sleek and expensive and is quite heavy and sturdy. Was pretty easy to assembly, since you only need to attach the legs. It was packaged very well, so well that it was a real pain to get the table out of the box(es). But that is a good thing and meant that it was well protected. I noted that other reviewers had scratches and dings, but mine is perfect. I cannot wait to get the chairs I ordered so I can entertain with my gorgeous new table. I highly recommend this table.
