I actually just ordered the Cameron extension table in the brownstone finish. Have you looked at a sample in the store? It does have a moderate amount of distressing to the finish which I like. But in looking at the photo I have on my phone, I noticed a couple of scratches on the sample piece. I’m sure it gets hauled around and knocked against other wood samples. But if that bothers you, maybe consider something more rustic.... especially if this is your main table.
