My table looks nothing like the example in the video — did the workspace come with the correct CSS?

It seems as though the styling wasn't included when I opened the workspace for the HTML Tables course... this is what my table looks like when I preview it:

Missing styles

It's supposed to look like this (screenshot from the tutorial):

Screenshot of what my table should look like

The main.css file that was loaded in my workspace: 

*, *:before, *:after {
  -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
  -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
  font-family: 'Nunito', sans-serif;
  color: #384047;
}

form {
  max-width: 300px;
  margin: 10px auto;
  padding: 10px 20px;
  background: #f4f7f8;
  border-radius: 8px;
}

h1 {
  margin: 0 0 30px 0;
  text-align: center;
}

input[type="text"],

  border: none;
  font-size: 16px;
  height: auto;
  margin: 0;
  outline: 0;
  padding: 15px;
  width: 100%;
  background-color: #e8eeef;

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {

    <body>

      <table>

Odd. I'm getting the correct styles when i launch a fresh workspace from this video. Could you try deleting your previous workspace and launching a new one to see if that helps?

First off try restarting the Workspaces as Geoff said, but if the problem persist, try seeing if you didn't accidentally take out the main.css file out of the css folder.
