READ before buying! We LOVE this table, totally love it. The wood is beautiful, it's look is understated farmhouse, yet still fits in our modern space. We love it. Although, as many reviewers mention, when you put it together there are two boards that go side by side to form the top table piece (along the length). There is definitely a gap between the two boards once fully screwed together. We recommend using wood clamps when you are screwing it together to get it as close as possible. We think it would have been too much of a gap if we didn't use the clamps, but it's no bother as is.
