Very heavy, sturdy table. The extra leaf does not quite fit as snuggly as I would like. If you are a perfectionist you may be bothered by it's little quirks but it looks beautiful in our dining room which has a "Shabby Elegance" vibe. We bought the dove grey chairs for the set first but the grey was not available until June so we bought the sand color which is really natural wood with a slight white wash. It looks great with the dove grey chairs. Overall a good choice for an exceptional price.
