I purchased the 48" table and was going to buy something that was almost $ 1000 cheaper but after reading all the reviews about poor service and shoddy craftsmanship from other vendors, I decided to contact this seller directly. I contacted them three times with different queries. They always respond immediately via chat sessions. I watched a video on how they take take pride in their quality furniture. I felt reasonably confident after seeing their claim that they had a good quality product and that they responded quickly so I ordered this table online. When it arrived, the table was packed in a crate thus it was well protected. This table is very heavy about 200lbs. Furniture assembly is required but it only comes in two parts, one the base and the other the table top. It now sits in my kitchen nook, it is very sturdy, does not wobble. The marble is beautiful and perfect. I am a little nervous about water marks so I am looking at buying a seal that you can buff over it. So far, I am protecting it with a table cloth as I do not want to take risks.
