The top of this table looks a little more orange weathered than I was expecting. However it still works for my space and is very sturdy. The trick with furniture like this that you need to assemble is to NOT tighten any of the bolts until all the pieces are together. If you tighten them as you go, then you will have problems with pieces not wanting to line up properly and will need to loosen them to get it to work.
The other thing I would note is while it is handy to have the shelf below the table top for storage, it does mean there is significantly less space for your thighs. This works fine for us since we are smaller people, but just something to keep in mind.
Overall, this was very easy to assemble and once its all together and tightened it feels and looks good. I am pleased with it!
