I looked and looked for the perfect table before finally landing on the *** Effuse dining table. The color is not as gray as it appears in the photos. It's more of a natural, unfinished tabletop, which is still very pretty and has plenty of character.
My wife and I have received several compliments on our new table since buying it a couple months back. Our formal dining room is still a work in progress, but this table will be a beautiful centerpiece when it's done. The table is solid and sturdy, weighing over 100 pounds. Assembly is pretty straightforward, but does go smoother if two people are working on it together. If you're considering this table and you don't have your heart set on a gray table, you won't be disappointed. Caution: The "rustic" metal legs are actually dirty when they arrive. I'm a little nervous about getting our linen chairs dirty, but a nice protective spray or simple wiping with a damp rag will probably alleviate the problem.
