How distressed is the black finish? I can't tell by the photo. Is it smooth or does the wood grain show prominently?

The wood grain shows, but I would not consider it to be prominent. If you're looking for a smooth finish, this is definately not the case. It also has flat or matte like finsih so it's not shiney. It's very well made and delivers assembled, which is nice

The wood grain shows prominently! You can feel the texture if the wood grain, it doesn't look like a pressed particle board.

It doesn't look distressed at all. It's pretty evenly painted black. The wood grain shows nicely but of course it's just a design. We know its not solid wood. but I do love it.

Mine does not look distressed at all. You can definitely see the wood grain and feel it if you rub your hand over it, but it is not "distressed". I think it looks way more expensive than it is and everyone who has seen it thinks it looks really good.

From a distance it looks smooth, but you can definitely see the wood grain when you're looking at it up close.

The wood grain shows. I wouldn't call it prominent, but has a very nice wood grain finish.

Hi, mine is a grayish-black, and looks like stained wood. Its a hard surface.

Mine is about a walnut finish. Not too dark and a very nice finish. I've had it about 18 months and still very happy with it.

I'm pretty sure it is pressed wood with a dark stain. Despite this, it is an attractive piece. It does not look cheap.

It is a dark brown with wood grain. Almost an ebony color at times.. If you like dark furniture you will love it.. You can see wood grain..

It is a nicely finished raw wood, but smooth and pleasing too look at on it's own.I have 3 of them. It could be re-finished if you wanted to, but is a nice stand alone finish too.

It's wood veneer, but does NOT look cheap at all...looks like wood, and has a lovely grain to it. It is quite HEAVY, and took both my husband and I to move it into place!

Very close to it. Looking at a picture I was afraid it would be very dark, almost black, but it's not. It matches my other furniture pretty well. It's really nice, especially for the price. It doesn't look cheap. And mine came in without a scratch ( read some other reviews and ppl had issues with that). I was lucky I guess :)

Not finished from back. Its wooden in color with texture like cardboard. However its smoothed out so doesn't look rough.

I love mine. Very nice quality. Wood is solid. Not exactly sure what type it is with the black finish.

At first sight, I would say the frame looks exactly like the picture you see...a very nice smooth flat BLACK finish; but, I noticed that if I put something truly black beside or on the table, the tone is more of a dark BRONZE color. SIDE THOUGHT: IF you can get a set of (clear) Ghost Chairs, it would eliminate the concern of this table (or any table) not matching your chairs. We bought a set for a great price and they go together beautifully...with NO clashing.

The grain runs along the 72 inch length. It is a unfinished product. Whatever you use to finish will darken wood somewhat. Be sure to use food quality oil or finish.

Mine is a cherry finish, it's a dark finish but light enough to see all the wood grain.

No, it is not distressed. It has a very clean classy look. The wood grain in very noticeable and is really just a beautiful piece. I'm very happy with it.

I would say it's probably not real wood, but it looks really good and was easy to assemble. The texture is smooth, not grainy.

I think it's all composite with a veneer on it. The veneer has a nice grain to it but it's such a dark color it doesn't really show up unless you look closely at it. We've been really pleased with it.
