I like the look of this metal dining table. It was a toss-up between this one and another style that was brushed metal, but the family really liked the black color. It is very glossy and does show prints very easily. But since it is metal, it wipes clean quickly. No complaints on the functionality, sturdiness, or shipping. BUT, the bag that should have come with the screws and washers was completely missing. Believe me, we looked in the packaging very thoroughly, it wasn't there. Luckily, my husband found ONE screw in his workshop that fit and took that one to the home improvement store to get enough for the table. So that cost an additional $10 (hint look in the metric screw section). Once we put the screws in, the table went together easily and feels very sturdy. It seems like the paint will scratch pretty easily--so like a new car we will probably freak out the first time it gets a mark, then not notice the damage after a while. I rated it 3 stars because of the missing parts, would've rated it higher if it hadn't cost us more time, money, and effort to put together than if everything had been included in the package.
