I trawled the internet for months looking for an industrial solid wood table at a reasonable price. In the end I purchased the Galaxie table with the matching bench and I'm not disappointed. The table and bench are very good quality, heavy, solid, in fact much thicker than the pictures suggest. I love it, it looks absolutely stunning in our dining room. My only slight complaint, although still happy to give 5 stars, is that the table isn't completely flat. It's obviously intentional and it gives it a more natural, rustic look but I still find it a bit odd - you find yourself moving your glass around to find a flat spot. Nothing a few coasters couldn't solve I guess :-)
