We have an open concept kitchen/living room space in our new apartment - i bought this table to separate the two so it acts as a kitchen island and doubles as a dining table (i re-purposed some old bar stools) i built it by myself in about 30 minutes (i'm a 5'3" girl with like zero strength) it was so easy and the table looks great, i'm surprised it's not more expensive! so happy!! note: we're going to paint it white to tie in with the stools and appliances - it's still unfinished in the photo.
