I looked awhile before choosing this table.  I love the scale and the legs.  I was thrown by a few reviews that said it was overly whitewashed.  There is some whitewash but it's so insignificant, and I would rather that then the old fashioned yellow oak look.  This table resembles beechwood but it is oak and it works nicely with wishbone chairs.  It is super solid.  The photos I added are accurate.
