I spent hours deciding on a table that would work in our small nook. The glass top makes the room feel larger than it is and gives us just enough room to eat comfortably while still being able to access our sliding glass doors. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the base finish is of slightly lower quality than I would prefer. That being said, we've had it 2 years and it still looks the same.
