Chose this because we needed a small dining table for a small space. Very rustic and heavy and love the design. Only problem is the coated base. It comes in a non coated option which is what i should have got. The coated, darker version looks great, but is some kind of weird paint that chips off very easily. If your foot just bumps it the coating flakes off. I may strip it and come up with a different option.I love this table. The base is super heavy so get some help getting it in place. The "unfinished" table top surface is just what I wanted. It's sanded smooth but not completely flat, it has ridges. Rustic industrial all in one. Fits perfect in my bkfst nook.I LOVE MY NEW TABLE!! It is perfect. Industrial modern, heavy duty and exactly what I was looking for! I can't express enough how cool this looks in my house!Easy to put together. The look is farm ranch and industrial. Hey happy.
