I cannot stress how beautiful this table is. I would recommend this to anyone looking to improve their house with a unique piece of furniture. It is seriously worth every penny! We were waiting over a month for this table, but now we understand why. It is a beautiful piece of handmade art! Everything is perfect, down to the smallest detail. The color is spectacular, the lines on the barrel give it character and the table works perfectly with a spring that allows for ease when opening and closing the lid. I like how big the top of the table is. Everyone who sees it asks to know where we got it, I would buy it again in a heartbeat! We are so happy, and will have this table with us forever.
