Handcrafted Thakat Rustic Coffee Table - (16H x 43W x 24D) - Natural - Timbergirl: Solid Indian Rosewood, Dry Dust Care

Zero stars for horrible packaging. I ordered twice and both the tables were damaged inside the box. Only half of the table top is protected by foam, the unprotected edges were damaged in both the pieces. So sad I could not keep this beautiful table. Timbergirl should have done better while procuring this.

It's nice but it's misrepresented. It's much darker than the photo and there is nowhere near the contrast in the grains of wood as shown. I think what is shown in the photo is authentic Indian sheesham wood, and the actual table is rosewood or something else. Also it has a very high gloss varnish. The traditional tables of this type are neither this dark nor highly varnished. For that reason, I would also not use the word "rustic" to describe it. It's nice enough, but I am kind of disappointed.

This is a beautiful coffee table. It's real wood with a nicely polished shine. The manufacturer's website encourages you to use coasters and only clean with a dry cloth to avoid stripping the wax. Note: It is darker than the main image--more of a deep amber-brown, which I like very much. The additional images provided give you a good idea. It's also easy to assemble. There were no instructions included, but each leg and corner was assigned a corresponding number. We had this set up in under 10 minutes. You'll spend more time unpacking it. The wrench needed to tighten the bolts was included in the very well packaged box.
