I really liked the design of the legs and wanted a extension piece too so I took my chances and bought table after searching a lot of furniture stores and online...I wish the top would look less antiqued or had a some kind of design on it/ border. Hard to tell from the photo on website (did take a gamble), but I figure a runner will breakup the look of the table. It is rather smooth, except some grain from wood is seen, only the edges are a little distressed and painted darker, otherwise minimally antiqued. Extension leaf is not stored with table. Quick delivery, white glove service.
