I bought this table originally for my kitchen, but it was way to big (my fault for not messuering more accurately) so this lovely table resides now in my dinning room, and looks amazing. It is a very chunky top, not a flat surface, so I'm not sure how it would work for everyday dinning, maybe placemats... ;) but defiantly not the "crafting" the description suggests. (It would be impossible to get a tiny googlie eye, or glitter out of the dips and differences on the top without using a vacuum) I still love it though!!
We did have to reorder the base because it showed up broken, but it was no problem, sent in a pic and recived a new one in about 10 days. Very sturdy and sold, and REALLY heavy.
