Pretty much exactly as pictured, nice and solid.  It's fine, but doesn't really excite me in our space.  Could be the furniture we have it with, or the fact that it is replacing a much larger table and looks small for now.  Also, the finish has a bit of a smooth matte feel, which is fine, but I expected more of a poly type varnish, I think.  If you're interested and think it works for your décor, give it a shot.
