The table comes with a beveled edge where the leaf is supposed to go so you have a nice beveled divot in the middle of the table. To be fair, Wayfair customer service is outstanding so far. Ordered another one just see if it was a fluke or a design flaw. The second table came in has the same design flaw. Buyer beware. I will contact Wayfair tomorrow to see about getting another table. I will keep you posted on my satisfaction level. Otherwise the table color is beautiful and the size is perfect and so it is very unfortunate.
