I've been searching for a dining/kitchen table for my apartment for awhile now.  I needed a table that would fit in my small space and at the same time expand to accommodate future needs.  I thought I had a simple check list. 
• Solid wood, not mdf and veneer
• fits two comfortably side by side, not just across from each other. 
• counter top height preferably 
• sturdy frame construction
• fit in a 2' x 4' space with chairs
I found several flimsily constructed tables online that looked like a child could snap the legs, others that were the wrong height and/or only face to face dining. Won't even mention the plethora of furniture out there only constructed with solid bases and mdf paper wrapped tops.  
 
This table is solidly built, a beautiful coffee/ expresso finish, solid wood top and base and will evolve with my living arrangements. 
Only con is that instead of wood plugs to cover cam bolt assembly it came with paper stickers that don't match the finish. I left them off.
