I wanted a real wood kitchen table, something with some heft. This delivers. The wood is stained well, dark, no problems with the wood. Though one edge is slightly off, but that's forgivable for something made with reclaimed wood. The legs are industrial welded metal painted black. A few dings, but hardly noticeable. This thing weighs a good 80-100 pounds, so it's sturdy. Assembly was a breeze, although some of the bolts were slightly mis-sized, but nothing a good ratchet set can't handle.
