Love this set,purchased the espressso color.  The height is a little taller than expected,but that was a unexpected suprise.  My little guys love the cubbie slots underneath and there is enough space between them for work and play.originally purchased it for homework table for their room, but will keep it down stairs for the kid table for holiday gatherings.its so light it can easily be moved upstairs by an adult. i wouldhave given 5 stars but the table is a bit soft and gives way when pressed to hard (kindergartender learning to write  :) LoveLOVE this set!
