Love this table. It's sturdy and beautiful; feels like solid wood.DO NOT tighten brackets to 100% before trying to put the tiered shelf on, I definitely dented and scuffed the wood in those areas a little on accident because I missed that step..it wouldn't allow me to put the tiered shelf on with it 100% tightened.I purchased the “dark walnut” thinking it would match our walnut dining table and figured it might be a little lighter in person since pictures tend to make things appear darker occasionally, but it's actually pretty dark in person, very similar to the listing photos. I was hoping for lighter to contrast my flooring, but still very beautiful. The photos are in different light settings in the room to try and show the most accurate representation of the table color.Pretty simple to assemble.Size is perfect, accurate, and I believe it's worth the money.
