I absolutely love this table! It is made of solid wood and strong metal, which is likely iron. I expected ot to be made of composite wood for the price, but was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. I also thought Id be putting together multiple pieces for the table top, but thankfully it came as one whole piece. The only pain when assembling it was the magazine rack. The screws go in from the bottom, so youre laying on your side on the ground trying to line everything up. Ive had a leg pad come off when moving it, but thats easily remedied. Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase. The quality, colour, and design of this table exceed expectations.
