lol. I've done a few like this as well. And I've given up on threaded inserts. I just drill some holes and use some sturdy lag screws. Coffee tables are small enough that there's no need to make sure they break down. And if you're shipping or something, just don't fully assemble.
Guessing white oak, but not an expert.

My wife and I had been looking for a solid white oak coffee table for awhile. We found a great option that fit our budget from an American company in Texas. Shipping was expensive but to be expected with a large solid oak table going across the country.
We received the table yesterday and while the quality is great we are having issues with the grain blending. I’m fully aware that when buying natural hard wood the grain is obviously going to be unique with every piece. However, to me (and maybe I should’ve been prepared for this possibility) the way they joined the table it looks as though it’s two separate tables instead of one continuous piece. I also get that some people might actually love this design but for my wife and I we were expecting a fairly continuous light oak. I’ve reached out to the company and waiting to hear back but with shipping costing so much I’m not sure what can be done.
Would you all of expected the piece to potentially come like this or if you were building it would you have tried to match the grain a bit better?
