I DID LOTS OF SEARCHING FOR A SMALL TABLE. TABLE IS QUITE STURDY, NOT TOO HEAVY TO MOVE AROUND. I DON'T PICK IT UP. THIS IS PERFECT FOR HUBBY AND I. THIS CAN SEAT FOR ADULTS. USUALLY IT IS JUST MY BETTER HALF AND I WHO EAT TOGETHER. WE KEEP IT FOLDED DOWN FOR THE TWO OF US. WHEN OUR GRAND CHILDREN COME OVER THEY CAN SIT COMFORTABLY AS WELL. WE JUST OPENED UP THE LEAVES. I LOVE THAT THIS IS WOOD AND NOT MADE WITH FORMALDAHYDE LIKE OTHERS. I NEED A HIP REPLACEMENT AND WAS ABLE TO PUT IT TOGETHER MYSELF. ONCE I PUT IT TOGETHER I HAD MY SON PUT IN MY DINING AREA.
