While we love the overall construction, color, style, and composition of the table. There are three issues we need to mitigate. This is why I gave it only 2 stars. There is an 8 inch gouge that needs to be filled or sealed that is 1/4 inch thick at its deepest. Also, one of the top planks is significantly lower than all the others. Lastly, there are a few random spots around the table that are rough to the touch as if they did not sand it thoroughly.
