This is a generally well made table, with a two layer oak top (definitely NOT MAPLE), stainless metalwork (except for the leg sockets that bolt to the underside of the table top, which seem to be carbon steel, or perhaps a much lower grade of stainless than the legs and bottom shelf) and overall very nice fit & finish for the asking price.The top came pre-finished with some sort of open oil treatment, but there were three "fills" where knots or chips in the wood were covered with wood filler. If you intend to use this as a direct cutting or dough working surface, then that could be an issue, but if you're just using it as a utility table, then they should be no problem. I chose to re-sand the top at 220 grit and apply an oil that also contains beeswax, but for many users that would be unnecessary, since the finish it comes with is pretty OK and much better than I had expected!The legs and bottom shelf are stainless steel (hardware too by the look), but quite thin/light compared to a real commercial prep table, they will undoubtedly do fine in most home kitchens, but I would take the rated weight capacity as a maximum value, not as a working load. The bottom shelf should also be loaded with lighter items near the center and heavier near the legs, if you want to put a lot of stuff on it ...it's just relatively thin sheet steel and has no reinforcing frame (most commercial tables have either much heavier gauge sheet metal, or a frame, or both).The adjustable feet work well and have large bottoms that should be fairly kind to floors, but the core of the foot is plastic and small shreds of plastic that were deformed when the upper part of each adjustable foot was crimped into the bottom of their corresponding leg are visible at those seams.It didn't come with any instructions, but there's only one possible way that it goes together, if you aren't at all mechanical, then get a friend who is to help with assembly. As a bonus though, it did come with one extra piece of
