East West Furniture DLT-BCH-TP Dublin Kitchen Dining Table - a Round Wooden Table Top with Dropleaf & Pedestal Base, 42x42 Inch, Black & Cherry

loved the table looks great. great price and very good quality. came fast and well packaged.

It's a wonderful table - bigger than I thought. However, you definitely need tools to assemble - a socket wrench, for sure... and a drill. They don't provide guides for the little plastic stops you have to screw into the bottom of the table... so it's hard to do it manually, although I managed. I think it's pretty and good quality. Although it is made in China and Vietnam : -(

High quality wood, very pleased. Functions well, solid construction. Excellent paint on the pedestal ( I chose black pedestal and cherry top table)...and the stain and finish on the cherry top is very good. Marked " made in Vietnam" on the underside. In terms of assembly it's easy.. except the small wrench tool supplied, while it works is a little cumbersome to use : reason is the bolts to attach and tighten the pedestal feet is within the pedestal base.. so have a pinch pliers or regular pliers on hand to tighten the bolts.. do not over tighten..... also make sure you insert the wooden bars (which hold the table leafs to remain open for full size table) into the sockets with the finger holes facing to the floor... BEFORE you install the 2 small plastic stops into the table top..otherwise you wont be able to install the wooden bars into the sockets.. if you install the 2 small plastic stops first.. This is not specified in the assembly instructions ( which I found inside the pedestal base.. don't panic that you have no instructions. they should be in there. The table comes in 2 boxes... one for the pedestal and feet and the other for the top. They are both packaged extremely well with foam boards so there should be zero shipping damage. I highly recommend a coat of Howard FW0016 Feed-N-Wax Wood Polish and Conditioner, Beeswax & Orange Oil on the table top and base before you begin use.. this will harden and protect the finish against scratching. I am a long time furniture repair person and this table is fantastic for the price. I was very happily surprised!

When I received the shipment of a 'cherry' top with black pedestal, the top box said "saddle brown." I was not happy to need an exchange, especially with such a heavy item. Long story short, Bison Furniture advised me that when the top comes with a black pedestal, it's called "Cherry," and when it comes in a single color, both pieces are called "Saddle Brown." In the photos, the cherry is a very different color from the Saddle Brown. It isn't very cherry in person, but it does match some cherry chairs I've had for 20 years, so I'm satisfied. I took a star off for "enhancing" the cherry color in the listing. They should look the same!

I really like this table. For the price, I really can't complain. However, I will say that the ends of the table where the sides fold down, are not very secure. I would not place heavy objects or bare your weight down on these ends as they are not the most secure. That's really my only issue with this table. I don't expect that it will last for years, but it will definitely last long enough till I can get a larger dining space for a bigger table.
