I love to do puzzles and bought this table for that reason. Most of the card or game tables are 52" square and are bigger than needed. So I was very pleased when I saw this 36" one. It is just perfect for my space and also for the puzzles, am on the second puzzle on this table and so nice that I don't have to clear it away to eat. This table is just for my puzzles and or Sudoku and other board games. it is pretty sturdy and nice that it is white instead or green or black or grey as many of them are. I prefer a white background to what I am working on.
