Here's a detail of the underside of the table for those interested in building and topping your own. Th base and chairs were made by Lyndon Furniture Co. and purchased through Vermont Made Furniture. I'm a little unhappy with them since I needed an extra chair and they upped the agreed upon $125 (ouch!) shipping charge to $175 (totally ridiculous)for a single chair! So beware of their exorbitant shipping and make sure you get a name and amount. Great price on the table base/chairs compared to what I found locally for the same - just still ticked off about the shipping issue. :)
