First table came damaged but wayfair replaced entire top and bottom since top was unavailable separately. Within a week another table arrived damage free! The top is beautifully laminated and matches counter height chairs I already had. I had a 411/4" round 1/4" thick piece of glass cut to protect tops finish. Assembles easy and metal base is very sturdy. Metal ring under top is used to fasten base. I'm over 6' tall and I can move legs under table with out hitting base.
