The table is perfect for a small living area!  The wood is soft, so scratches will be easier to make, but we love this and think it's perfect for our temporary place.  If you want to have serving dishes on the table, consider something a tad bigger, but it's perfect for 2 with glasses/plate and having enough room to eat comfortably.  We love the color and the pictures are spot on with what you'll get.  We are thrilled for the price!
