I agree completely. I tried to talk the guy out of the burnt finish but that was something he was unwilling to go without.

I really like the sliding top, a lot. Seems to make the storage more accessible, even when there are things on top of the table. Is there any down-side you've noticed to using the glides instead of a hinge? Are they special glides (vs. run-of-the-mill drawer glides?)

The slides are the ball bearing type drawer slides and they are rated at a higher weight than others. The only down side is installing these in a table of this size is difficult.
