I know own 3 of these 8’ tables. Absolutely love them! They are heavy so you won’t be able to move them By yourself. They are very sturdy! I use two tables in a studio setting and one as a meeting conference table. They come in already stained but very porous wood. I added three coats of polyurethane to mine so I’m able to wash them off and protect the wood. I sealed only the table top. Now the top has a Lustrous look and complements the chairs better. I would love to purchase two more!! Great find!
