I am looking for a dining room table and have always thought that solid wood was the way to go so I was looking at the kincaid sturlyn rectangular pedestal table:

But our designer brought this hooker sheridan table to us.

the hooker table looks beautiful but I'm a bit concerned about the quality, it has mdf and veneers which just does not sound as good to me.

What are your thoughts?
