It is not very clear from the description, but this table is made from reclaimed wood. It is really solid and well built (my 3yr old was jumping on it minutes after I put it together). It was well sanded so no rough spots but be warned it isn't new wood, it is heavily distressed. That was the look I wanted so am actually pleased. The finish is a dark gray / brown. The table is a little odd in that the bottom piece is a tiny bit longer than the top, so it sticks out a little (just enough to make it easy climbing for kid mentioned above). Took me a while to notice it but that might bug people.  The legs are welded tubular steel,  painted black, with holes for large bolts.  Only con is that they didn't clean the metal shavings out if the holes so they spilled out when setting up.  Came fast and was easy to set up.  Overall it is a big table,  very solidly built and fits well with my living room.
