The description says the table is real wood and it looks like real wood but ..I dont think so. It is a little soft around the screws and the wood look is a little too perfect and the finish is very very thick, almost like a coating of plastic on top...little too thick. I wish someone would slice a part open and tell if it is real wood or not, but it wont be me, sorry. It is attractive and works for now, but I am concerned if it will hold up over time.
UPDATE: as of April 2019 the table is holding up well. It serves the purpose perfectly, expands and reduces size perfectly well, is attractive and there are no functional problems.
